With the passing of the musical legend Burt Bacharach, let musical maestro George Hrab explain the intricate genius of his weird, but very wonderful songwriting while songstress Mari Wilson sings “Are You There?” live from 1983.
Enjoy the rest of the show featuring Bacharach lover Mari Wilson.
A Very Maynard Xmas is the highlight of the year for people who don’t get out a lot. The extravaganza purports to have a level of Xmas pageantry rarely seen in Australia. This year the spotlight occasionally falls on “unimpressed Germans”: witness attempts by a handful of varied musicians that fail to crack a smile on that Germanic dial.
Our guests dropping by this year include Tim Ferguson, Lesley Fountain, Chris Kelly from Ship O Fools, Brigitte Handley, Christopher Laird, Tony Push, Frank Bennett, George Hrab, Mari Wilson, “Weird” Al Yankovic, 3 pugs and loads of Yuletide surprises.
A Very Maynard Xmas 2022 promises you almost two hours of Xmas entertainment you probably won’t be able to describe to friends afterwards. “There was this guy in a suit and Toyah, a bugle, fire, Vegemite, Mari Wilson cursed a fig tree & a Dark Wave guy held up signs in his pyjamas while someone read a poem in Dymocks”.
To celebrate the “Weird Al” Yankovic epic biopic release worldwide, let’s watch some Weird Al clips. From the vault in the famous Maynard International Studios in Australia, Maynard will showcase some of his favourite Weird Al material.
Tim Ferguson will also throw some easy Weird Al questions at you, and we screen Maynard’s previously unseen interview with Al during his first tour of Australia in 2003. (He didn’t do any shows during his 1990 UHF promotional visit.)
Weird Al and Maynard first met in 1990 at Flinders Street Railway Station on Al’s 30th birthday for Maynard’s Triple J breakfast show. Below is the scene shortly after Maynard rubbed Al’s birthday cake over himself.
PS He gave Al a second one as pictured!
To celebrate the release of the long awaited Mari Wilson collection on CD, Maynard presents a video livestream of more Mari Wilson video clips than you ever thought possible. There will be Mari music clips from all over the place, special guests, not so special guests, a tea towel, press clippings, dancing and a legal disclaimer.
Join Maynard, Bob Downe, Glenn Keenan (Lesley Fountain), George Hrab and Noam Chomsky the teddy for show full of fun and fabulous outfits.
Leo Sayer sits down to talk about his book and share some stories, laughs, music and a bit of dancing on the table.
Leo Sayer has been a live favourite in Australia since he first toured here in the 70s.
From Long Tall Glasses to More Than I Can Say and the disco favourite Thunder In My Heart you are in for a treat here folks.
Leo Sayer always liked touring here, so much so that he became an Australian citizen in 2009.
But before that in the 90s he sat down (and danced around) with Maynard on the release of his autobiography.
Enjoy all his best known songs, some gossip and the answer to that nagging question:
How high is wine up to “yar”?
