1967 Jeff with Tony Burkys at Mulwala Festival gov. library
Circa 1965, Graham and I were off to the Folk Cellar in Oxford Street, Taylor Square! Looking every bit 'the beatniks' attired in the mandatory black garb, matching skivvys, Graham looked the part in his railway issue waistcoat and levis, stockinged legs hung from below my oversized jumper.
We boarded the train to Museum Station, and made our way up Oxford Street. The venue was below ground level near Crown Street.t
'I would like to introduce a young chap, Jeff St. John '.. . up struggled Jeff, attached to his crutches, he seated himself on a stool, and proceeded to play the harp. I was well and truly spellbound. Jeff's career blossomed, his talents took him to great heights, he became a household name.
Jeff could been seen at 'Here' in North Sydney, University Round House, Greenwood Tree and most established venues in the 60s and 70s.
