It's 30 year's since the Trades Hall bombing.



Yes, believe it or not it's 30 years since the Trades Hall bombing at 5.19  on 27 March. Groove is now located in the very same building these days and we are constantly reminded of the incident.  I remember it well as I was over at my Dad's warehouse waiting for a ride home from rugby practice when we heard the commotion.  I didn't actually hear the bang but we caw the smoke and the police, people pouring out of near by buildings in shock. It was a very confusing time.  We didn't learn the details until much later.

There is a Memorial Service at 5.19 at Trades Hall in honour of Ernie Abbott.  Read more about it here: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/9872178/Wellingtons-unsolved-Trades-Hall-mystery
