Grabbers

They work hard do the Grabbers film crowd.

They start at 8 o'clock in the morning and finish at 8 or 9 o'clock at night.

They've been doing that for the last few weeks in Movilleand around the area.

Last Night

Today was their last day in the area before going back for one week's filming in Belfast (because of the snow delay).

They were determined to have a great last night here and they did.

They had contacted the Town Clock who put the Kavanagh Brothers on for them followed by DJ music.

They were out to enjoy themselves and let their hair down and they did.

Best Crowd

It's probably the best crowd the Town Clock have had for a long time on a Friday.

The Grabbers have been a great boost to the area in a January during the downturn.

But the Grabbers weren't thinking of that.

They were out to enjoy themselves after a hard few weeks of work.

Easy

It was very easy to chat to them.

If anyone thought that there was a fancy film crowd coming to the area who would rather keep themselves to themselves then they were completely off the mark.

They were here to work hard and have fun and they were very approachable.

I think they enjoyed themselves here as well.

Star Grabber

I did see the star of the movie Richard Coyle in at one point.

I was going to go and ask if I could take a picture but got caught short and thought I'd go to the Gents first and get a picture on the way back.

He was gone when I came out.

He'd either been in another part of the pub or had been in another pub and was just there to get someone and go back to the hotel (or so I was told).

Bye

We'll miss the Grabbers when they go.

They brought a bit of excitement and glamour to the area as well as a bit of interest - and a big economic boost at a time when things were expected to be very tight.

"I wish they would come every month" said one local businessman.

The Grabbers I spoke to said that they would definitely come back.

Maybe it will be for Grabbers 2.

We'll be glad to see them.
