The Crystal Ballroom/Seaview Ballroom located inside The George Hotel, St Kilda, was an iconic live music venue from about 1978 to the mid 80s. Dolores San Miguel and others like Laurie Richards and Nigel Rennard all booked a diverse range of early punk, post punk and rock bands such as The Models, The Boys Next Door, Primitive Calculators, The Go Betweens and many more. Enjoy a trip down memory lane with tales and images of those who were there during this unique period in Australia's musical history.
For a more comprehensive guide to the ballroom, I recommend a website by Melynda Von Wayward called
