Lynne Pike is Lynne Clark and still singing as far as I know. Frank Winter died in May 2003. Curley Delmonte I heard had died. The Poles became a restaurant then an 'adult shop'last time I saw it. I do not know anything about the big blonde, sorry. The Hamilton County Bluegrass Band have been performing again lately. It was a great place to sing. |

We emigrated to Nz about the same time but to different cities. I heard he was also carrying out some less legal activities in Aucland and that the Poles Apart was nicknamed the Legs Apart as a result of this. |

The 'Poles' closed not too long after and was converted to other uses. I was a regular there from 1974 until it closed, sometimes visiting twice a week. We went there on the evening of our first day in NZ, having spotted it during our first jet-lagged walk around Newmarket, where I'd organised a job from 11,000 miles away in England. |
