"Mum's In: Stories from Razorhurst" introducing Tilly Devine

MUM'S IN - STORIES FROM RAZORHURST is a one-woman cabaret performance piece which lifts the veil on the Razor Gang era in Sydney during the 1930's. Sly grog, prostitution, cocaine and extortion were the commodities of the East Sydney underground. This dark comedy cabaret features the notorious characters of Kate Leigh, Tilly Devine, Frank Green, Nelly Cameron and Guido Calleti.

For your reference I am working through from the 60's back to the First World war era of 1910 - 1901. Continuing back.

Fantastic, I await this with loaded anticipation.

I have been researching this area of Sydney for around seven years starting with my mother in the 60's as a Widgee and uncles as Bodgies, riding their club colors and black and white box brownie photos of their weekend riding in no particular formation but 'cool'...down Buli pass looking like 'The Wild One' on their Matchless, Norton's and BSA's.

The shots are very cool. If you need any content material in the form of stills let me know.
