PENTHOUSE gigged regularly on Saturday nights at the Highlands Park Hotel for over a year and took great pride in their harmonies.  Their renditions of Beatles, Beach Boys and Hollies material were particularly popular for this reason.    La Boheme was another club they appeared at extensively, progressing from Saturday lunchtimes and Sunday nights to seven-days-a-week for three months at the same venue.  They also made the occasional appearance on Rhodesia Television.
