Sadly, the promising musical career indicated by Denis Quills early life did not eventuate. Quill (also known as William Denis Quill) was the son of the manager of the Railway Hotel in Otaki, and attended St Patricks College. He received musical tuition from Laurence Watkins, and at the early age of of 17 wrote and had published the Nikau Waltz which became a firm favourite and was re-published through many decades. It was even re-worked as a song, Waiting for you, and performed by Vera Lynn. Quill had on-going issues with alcohol and minor offences against the law and no further contributions to music in New Zealand are documented.

Dufferin polka. (Sydney: Alberts, 1904)
