The Glebe Music Festival

Valhalla – Paradise on Glebe Point Road

The cinema closed in 2005 and the building was sold to a property developer in 2006.
166D Glebe Point Road still stands, and, although the interior has been converted into offices, the bold, black-and-white sign above the entrance reads: ‘VALHALLA.’

John Gray writes on how it feels and what it means to him to have the Dirty Reds back.
