Shakin' It Up At The Nicoberg

In 1965, British bands like The Pretty Things and The Kinks were popular in New Zealand,, inspiring local group Grim Ltd. Formed by Nick Williams, Mike Waldegrave, Clive Whelan, Donal McKenzie, and Peter Scott, Grim built a strong local following after their first gig at The Nicoberg Coffee Lounge. After some members left for university, Lee Murray Taylor and John Van Der Reyden from Four Alone joined. The band played around Manawatu and Wellington before deciding to end in August 1966. Their final show, recorded by John, remained unreleased for 57 years until now.
