If so, that's really helpful to know! Hopefully we can prioritise that roll to get properly digitised.

In the second pic, along with Bill, at far right is Gugi or Nukl Waaka/Walker. The third pic features an early version of the Keil Isles with Olaf (left) and Herma (or Freddy?) Keil on guitars, Klaus Keil on drums, possibly Rudolph Keil on bass and maybe Norman Akers on piano? The pic with the empty stage is probably of the "Bel Air" coffee bar (Queen St, opp. Town Hall), where Gene & The Dynamites had a residency.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01323901944295215014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326867358384170422.post-53424837280989615652018-08-30T22:03:09.113+12:002018-08-30T22:03:09.113+12:00The Metropole became the Peter Pan Cabaret, in the...The Metropole became the Peter Pan Cabaret, in the last block on the left at the top of Queen St, a few doors up from what was later Geddes Dental Renovations (492 Queen St, cnr City Rd).<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01323901944295215014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326867358384170422.post-2988651662821989742018-08-30T11:27:21.883+12:002018-08-30T11:27:21.883+12:00In Anna Hoffman's first book, on her time in A...In Anna Hoffman's first book, on her time in Auckland Central before departing for Sydney, she discusses a number of venues that were used for music performance and dances at the time.
