Memories of Dunedin Dance Halls: Colin Falloon

In the late 50s and early 60s I used to travel from Christchurch to Dunedin by train with a few mates to attend Joe Brown' s dances at the Town Hall. We weren't interested in the main floor dancing ("too square"), but we went below to another hall for the Rock and Roll.

Generally, we would stay overnight and sleep in the Railway Station or bus station waiting areas. We would beg a loaf of bread from a factory somewhere off Stafford Street and have that on the way home.
