In your full spread edition of Bunga Bunga 28, Maynard visits the Doug Anthony All Stars at their Sydney show. It seems the highly bicurious audience has some Crankmail questions for Tim Ferguson.

Tim gives away the secret to immortality, but still has time for some strong words of advice for the ABC.

But we can safely end the war on terror as we openly accuse a watermelon of kidnapping.

We continue our steamroller like support for Anthony Ackroyd from The Arts Party

The Pirate Party

Of course you can always vote for Tim Ferguson, using a Post It note. If you are wondering what his full policies might be, we refer you to the last time Tim ran for Election.

What happened to Sandman

The Sandman, Steve Abbott is back to let you know where he’s been and maybe where he’s not going.

What Happened To Sandman – or How I Became A Birdwatcher.

Starts in Canberra May 28 and 29 at Street 2 Theatre. Depending on how Steve and his Director Warren Coleman feel, it may go as far as Taree, maybe even further.

Steve is a very engaging performer that you can spend time in a small room with without regret. Last time I checked, no other show in Australia was offering visual proof of an audience epiphany. Not even those really well State funded shows with costumes.

Maynard & Madd Club play Jack The House 3

It’s a rare Madd Club show Friday night as The Madd Club and myself jump around and play the really retro tracks from EMF, KLF & RSF. Probably other stuff from the 90s that doesn’t have 3 letter abbreviations too. The Sly Fox in Enmore is the venue and we’ll be on about 10pm. Kate Monroe is after us and frankly she’s a bit nervous that we might break something, find out Friday night. I don’t think we’ll be doing this again anytime soon.

Details at Jack the House 3

Bunga Bunga catches Election Fever as Tim Ferguson & Maynard let you in on Tim’s plans for taking over the Federal government. We take your suggestions and give most of them back. Name some authors you could write better than, and tell you how to talk to girls.

Bunga Bunga 27 comes out fighting and throws its considerable weight behind The Pirate Party & The Arts Party.

No local politicians have returned our calls.

Bunga Bunga 26 comes to you from the Madame Frou Frou Cafe (a real place) as Tim ferguson recovers from a trip to his dentist (not a real dentist). Maynard needs some gas as we open your Crankmail and teach you the martial art of bread throwing and the best way to set fire to your co-workers.

If you’d like to come along to Maynardarama on Saturday night, here is the Facebook event:

With the very untimely passing of Prince, we revisit Bunga Bunga 23 in which Tim Ferguson settles once and for all the philosphical challenge through the ages.

Prince or Morrissey? And can you even have both?

Over to you Ferguson….

Jo Grant- Look out Doctor! Here comes a big one.

Jo Grant with Jon Pertwee on the Whocycle.

The charming and diminutive Katy Manning played Whovian companion Jo Grant 1971-1973 with Jon Pertwee as the third Doctor Who. Together they battled Daleks, Autons and giant evil green maggots from Wales. This interview is from Maynard breakfast show 1991. Katy’s favourite line of dialogue was:”look out Doctor! Here comes a big one.” A line that occurred in more than one episode. Katy Manning has promised a rematch interview on her next visit to Australia.

Look out indeed. Here comes a live one.

Warning: Katy Manning is a screamer.

Import records fresh out the crate.

Chris Dunn was one of the people behind Waterfront Records in Sydney, a legendary record shop and a record label that put out more than 170 releases between 1982 – 1997. The Hard Ons, Tumbleweed & Ratcat were the kind of sound that was favoured by Chris Dunn & Steven Stavrakis . Chris has just opened a vinyl record bar, The Edwards Shop in Newcastle West so he can hang out with his Mum more.

Enjoy this primer on Waterfront Records as Chris schools Maynard on running an indie record label in the 1980s and you can give Chris a visit to see what’s new on his shelves this week.
