BIOGRAPHY
Billy Monk worked as a bouncer in 1960s Cape
Town. Armed with a camera, he also managed to photograph inside the club, The
Catacombs. Housing revellers of all creeds and colours, this dockside spot
illustrated both forms of the word 'underground'. His access to this
cross-section of society allowed him to photograph scenes of uncensored joy,
passion and debauchery not often associated with apartheid-era South Africa.
