Not an expert on New Zealand folk clubs but one of the regulars at the Ballads and Blues Club in the early 60's was Curly Simon. He also started a late Saturday night club downstairs at The Student Prince in Soho. It was a convenient place to go after the Ballads and Blues club finished for the evening. Curly went to live in New Zealand and opened the Poles Apart Folk Club. I know that people such as Pete Stanley and Malcolm Price went over to play there, maybe others have more knowledge.
