A Very Maynard Xmas 2022

A Very Maynard Xmas is the highlight of the year for people who don’t get out a lot. The extravaganza purports to have a level of Xmas pageantry rarely seen in Australia. This year the spotlight occasionally falls on “unimpressed Germans”: witness attempts by a handful of varied musicians that fail to crack a smile on that Germanic dial.

Our guests dropping by this year include Tim Ferguson, Lesley Fountain, Chris Kelly from Ship O Fools, Brigitte Handley, Christopher Laird, Tony Push, Frank Bennett, George Hrab, Mari Wilson, “Weird” Al Yankovic, 3 pugs and loads of Yuletide surprises.

A Very Maynard Xmas 2022 promises you almost two hours of Xmas entertainment you probably won’t be able to describe to friends afterwards. “There was this guy in a suit and Toyah, a bugle, fire, Vegemite, Mari Wilson cursed a fig tree & a Dark Wave guy held up signs in his pyjamas while someone read a poem in Dymocks”.

Watch A Very Maynard 2021/1982 Xmas

This year Maynard wakes up from his 2020 Xmas show and decides maybe 1982 may be a better Xmas to celebrate.

Our guests dropping by this year include Tim Ferguson, Lesley Fountain, Bridgette Handley, Tony Push, The Castanet Club, Frank Bennett, James Valentine and a few cats.

Maynard thinks 1982 may be a better Xmas to celebrate than 2021.

Dave Mulligan brings you an uncool yule when he returns with 3 great songs for the holiday season, or so he thinks.

Dave Mulligan is a 50s and 60s record collector, mainly 45s, and every year Maynard asks him to share a few that you don’t normally hear at this time of year. Or ever really.

Maynard and Dave Mulligan apologise and wish you a very Uncool Yule.

Video – A Very Maynard Xmas 1998

But what would A Very Maynard Xmas look like?

In 1998 we found out when Foxtel’s Channel V assigned Mary Datoc and Maynard to dig up clips and music from around all Foxtel channels in a way that would never happen now.

All the Channel V presenters of the time turned up at Maynard’s for an afternoon and this show was the result.
