Chit Chat von Loopin Stab and Tony Whittaker have made the best (and only) documentary on The Castanet Club. The Castanet Club Story.

Chit Chat drops in to tell Maynard the story behind the Story.

Just look at what he wrote about us…

What The Castanet Club achieved in their 9 years would impact the landscape of Australian entertainment for the next 20yrs. The rise of Triple J, Sandman and Flacco, Young Einstein, Good News Week, Channel [V], Play School, Sale of the Century, Full Frontal, Happy Feet, Fast Forward, Kath, and Kim and even Mambo T-shirts are in some way connected to this remarkable group of unfashionable humans.

Stories of Our Town site

Half hour Castanet Club Story documentary with lots of interviews with members and even Tim Ferguson, Paul Livingston, John Doyle & Jane Turner turn up to talk about Castanet Club history and what we are doing now…

Maynard presents a video show with Castanet Club archival footage and influences.

On Maynard’s latest video livestream he took the attention temperature of Australia’s cats to, anything really. Whatever you are doing that doesn’t involve feeding them does not impress.

Maynard celebrates his opening up, and we all find out how excited the people and cats of Australia are about that.

The whole shabang has a heap of great tunes, fun and foolishness.

Lots of guests, including Tim Ferguson, George Hrab, Tony Push, Richard Saunders (dancing) and introducing Leslie Fountain as our new “choreography correspondent”.

There is an unseen version of Venus from The Castanet Club from 1986 that will give you some lighting tips.

Also thrill to Tea Towel Time and the Smart Ass Quiz with my silent co-hosts hippo Anderson Cooper and teddy Noam Chomsky.

Bring your cat.

I promise average entertainment for no apparent reason.
