Bunga Bunga 64 – Tim Ferguson & Maynard

Bunga Bunga 64 comes live to you from Tim’s lounge room with the help of Richard Saunders. We fully promise that as usual, don’t expect too much.

Tim has been making art, Maynard has been making a nuisance of himself.

You’ll believe a cat can fly after this mystical journey into your murk.

Watch the video of our November Bunga Bunga livestream.

Tim’s art available by commission

Here’s Bunga Bunga 63

A very spooky retro Halloween

Get your panties into a bunch (I pre bunched mine) and prepare to clutch your “pearls” as we scare the gihoodie out of you with this Halloween special from my Rewind show from 1998.

You find this show spooky and kooky. Especially if you find pyjamas terrifying.

“The body count of this show is a little higher than usual.”

Maynard’s Mastermind Quiz October 2020

Frank Bennett TV Special

Frank Bennett was the swingin’ guest on Rewind on the release of his Cash Landing album in 1999. What a guy, what a sound, what a suit!

An hour with Frank Bennett and friends

Frank’s career spans 2 albums, a cable TV show and live appearances across Australia since 1995. Even multi ARIA nominations didn’t slow him down.

Maynard’s Mastermind Quiz

Maynard’s Mastermind quiz upped it’s game this month with the addition of higher production values, an inflatable hippo and a cat.

Most of the questions this month again were found behind my couch from around 1997, although we do have some from a TV Week magazine from 1979. Good luck!

Madd Club livestream August

The One Man Madd Club show really stepped up its game this time. To just below par.

Enjoy your August Madd Club

Hear some tunes from TISM, Painters & Dockers, even Donna Summer. Maynard’s Madd Club has both sorts of music, and you mightn’t like either of them.

Enjoy the Maynard fashions from Astro Boy to Demis Roussos. Some powerful colours and pants there.

See what happened earlier in the year when we tried this.

Video – Plate Spinning Retro Classics

In this Rewind show from 1997 you’ll have the usual retro excitement you expect from Maynard on an old VHS tape.

Plenty of underpants on your head fun in this show

There’s the opening tension of the best plate spinning on cable TV followed by Adam Ant, Human League and The Fat Boys.
