Maynard @ Sydney Mardi Gras Parade 2006

Maynard was in the thick of the 2006 Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade, you will be too after watching this 28th Mardi Gras parade.

Join Bob Downe, Molly Meldrum, Lara Bingle, Miss Wagga Wagga, Newcastle Queens and the very appealing Brokeback Mormans as they all celebrate the theme of “I Believe”.

This is a higher quality video than previously available online, although Maynard’s performance is still in lo fi.

For a more recent encounter with Molly Meldrum, here’s Maynard at his book launch.

Bunga Bunga 44 – Tim Ferguson & Maynard

Bunga Bunga 44 with Tim Ferguson & Maynard is an action packed adventure ride through the exciting world of podcasting, popular music and multiple sclerosis.

Tim and Maynard are flattered by the review that legendary Who Are These Podcasts? gave them. Really.

Tim spills the medical beans on how he copes if his MS gets too intense. Maynard just spills some beans.

The results of the Bunga Bunga Hottest 100 are in and it’s more controversial than last year, mainly because this is the first one.

Tim is very excited about his upcoming pop up art exhibition, that is open for only 2 hours this Sunday afternoon.

Details for Tim’s art happening this Sunday

Maynard is excited by the reaction he received to his DJ work on Soundcloud.

Have a listen to Maynard spin his 80s tunes.

We couldn’t be prouder than OzKitsch making our national jingle number 2 on their Coldest 100 countdown.

Tim Ferguson & Maynard are very nervous this show, due to their upcoming review on the fearsome Who Are These Podcasts? show.

They try and explain themselves and Bunga Bunga, turns out to be not that easy.

Listen to what they thought of us at Who Are These Podcasts? Show 92 for the terrible truth.

Tim’s art exhibit happens on 18th Feb in Surrey Hills, Sydney. Check his FB page for the venue.

Collette had a huge hit in Australia in 1989 with her cover of the Anita Ward disco classic Ring My Bell which was co-produced by Pee Wee Ferris and Kirk Godfrey.

Far from a one hit wonder, Collette Roberts had 2 other charting singles off her first Raze The Roof album and a reasonable amount of nightclub plays for Upside Down & This Will Be (Everlasting Love) from her second album Attitude in 1991.

Always a fun, yet strangely controversial guest on the breakfast show, here we are from December 1990.

Collette spoke with me in studio 217 at JJJ in William St, Kings Cross about her last single “Who Do You Think You Are?” and her new single “Upside Down”. Also discussed were hooded tops, deep house & Fiji. I’ve thrown in some Xmas ID’s and a safe sex message to give you that early 90s feel.

Two interviews with Melbourne’s Bachelors from Prague, 1989 & 1990. Henry Maas & Andrew Philipp are both up early (twice) to talk about The Energetic Cool and Great albums.

Despite my not really being able to describe their sound or genre accurately, Henry and Andrew are very patient with me. Even going so far as to give me a job offer.

All the important issues are covered, the size of their dressing room, why they don’t wear bright colours and is their manager Mario Macaroni a fictional character?

We even namecheck a few long gone venues like The Harbourside Brasserie and IDs.

Thankyou to Bachelors from Prague for all the very cool good times.

And they are back,so go see them! (and their dressing room)
