Recently a member of the Klockers family unearthed forgotten tapes that were recorded in the Swansonville area in 1957. “Uncle Len” Klockers carried a local reputation for being a musician and guitarist.

We have digitized the surviving recordings which you can listen to below. Songs are interspersed with casual dialogue between Len Klockers and an unknown/unnamed musician.
