Jeff Duff has been on the Australian and UK music scene causing a stir since the 1970s. Jeff foolishly invited Maynard to visit his funky Elizabeth Bay pad in Sydney to hear first hand, stories from his book This Will Explain Everything. Rude bits aplenty.

This fan site about Jeff Duff will explain anything his book may have missed.

Here is Jeff’s Walk on the Wildside with Bowie’s makeup artist.

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain explore similarities in My Way & Life On Mars.

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.

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.
