Dancing at the Thumpin Tum (February 1966)

Thumpin Tum (The Scene-The Seen, Go-Set, 2 February 1966, Page 11)
Go-Set and Thumpin Tum in Melbourne had a long and mutual arrangement. The Tum had a paid advertisement in the first issue of Go-Set, as a result of the photographic contacts that were established when Colin Beard came on board. This picture, from the section "The Scene-The Seen" shows the dancers on the dance floor. Notice the fashion worn by the girl, notice the guys fashion. The photograph appears natural, but was it posed. Go-Set's first photographers were Colin Beard and Jim Colbert, although Colbert was not around for the first issue.

It must be asked, who are the people in this photograph, and where are they now?
