The Shamrocks performing at Copper Cat coffee house
Dion Murphy and other members of the musical band, The Shamrocks, performing to an audience at the Copper Cat coffee house.
Contributors note: "Dion Murphy played in a variety of bands, which in 1958 obtained a residency in a local coffee lounge called The Copper Cat at 137 Lower High Street, Christchurch. The band at the Copper Cat reformed to become Dion Shannon and the Shamrocks in 1959. The Copper Cat was one of the original night spots in Christchurch and attracted a large regular following - it became a favourite spot for musicians such as Howard Morrison and the Howard Morrison Quartet, to drop in for "coffee" after their local gigs, as the hotels closed at 6pm, and the Copper Cat stayed open till 2:00am in the morning, something rare in 1959."
