This episode of Six O’Clock Rock aired on 1 August 1959 & is the only surviving episode from that year which I’m aware of.... Six O’Clock Rock was an Australian Rock and Roll television show which showed on ABC Television from 28 February 1959 to 1962 and was broadcast at 6PM on Saturday evenings featuring local artists.
