The Wollongong music scene is now well and truly on the map, thanks to Hockey Dad, the Yours and Owls Festival and the Farmer and the Owl label. They spearheaded a golden age for the local scene, where people outside Wollongong finally realised what was going on in the coastal town an hour south of Sydney. But this wasn’t the first high point for the local scene, which stretches back to the mid-1950s. In Lull City, Glen Humphries focuses on the creation of this current golden age for the scene while also casting an eye back to see what went on before we got to this point. 3
