Brodie/Stevenson presents a show of 47 photographs taken by Billy Monk between 1967 and 1969, in nightclubs around Cape Town.

Monk worked as a bouncer for some years, and developed close personal relationships with a number of his subjects, gaining access to their intimate moments of joy and sadness.
