Tom Jones Rewind special

Maynard features the mighty Tom Jones in an hour with Tom goodness and Tom voice, and featuring the Tom moves that makes him the legend he is today.

This show has everything: dancing, prancing and panting in the time honoured fashion of everything Tom. Enjoy! (We did.)

Enjoy a power packed hour with Tom Jones and friends.

You’ll see some of Tom’s biggest and most exciting songs as well as friends and collaborators over the years: The Cardigans, Barry Crocker, Talking Heads, even an interview by a slightly confused Molly Meldrum.

Brain Freeze – A Coldest 100 video livestream

Maynard hosts 90 minutes of videos from The Coldest 100, 2022

A hungry nation, starved of good news and well meaning carry-on, enjoyed Brain Freeze with 30 odd (very odd) video clips from the 2022 Coldest 100.

From Kylie, to Muppets to Barry Crocker and Melissa Tkautz, it’s 90 minutes YOU don’t have to apologise for.

Keep an eye out for special guests Tim Ferguson, Brigitte Handley, Lesley Fountain/Glenn Keenan & DJ Mark Alsop and others that should know better, drop in to add to the cultural carnage.

@OzKitsch on Twitter has been compiling this list every January for the last seven years. So about time someone made a video show out of it….

Listen to Andrew Sholl & Maynard playing some of The Coldest 100, 2022

Watch A Very Maynard 2021/1982 Xmas

This year Maynard wakes up from his 2020 Xmas show and decides maybe 1982 may be a better Xmas to celebrate.

Our guests dropping by this year include Tim Ferguson, Lesley Fountain, Bridgette Handley, Tony Push, The Castanet Club, Frank Bennett, James Valentine and a few cats.

Maynard thinks 1982 may be a better Xmas to celebrate than 2021.

Maynardarama (Maynard Opens Up) video livestream October

Maynard celebrates his opening up, and we all find out how excited the people and cats of Australia are about that.

The whole shabang has a heap of great tunes, fun and foolishness.

Lots of guests, including Tim Ferguson, George Hrab, Tony Push, Richard Saunders (dancing) and introducing Leslie Fountain as our new “choreography correspondent”.

There is an unseen version of Venus from The Castanet Club from 1986 that will give you some lighting tips.

Also thrill to Tea Towel Time and the Smart Ass Quiz with my silent co-hosts hippo Anderson Cooper and teddy Noam Chomsky.

Bring your cat.

I promise average entertainment for no apparent reason.

Almost Live From The Castanet Club – Ep 3

Be loud, be proud and prepare ye for the third and final episode of Almost Live from the Castanet Club! from the now closed Castanet Club exhibition.

With current public health orders preventing visitors from experiencing our special exhibition The Castanet Club – An exhibition you can dance to! in person, we’re bringing the fun to you with this limited release variety show.

In true Castanet Club collaborative style, we’ve gathered talented musicians, videographers, sound engineers and visual artists to produce a modern take on a classic Novocastrian attitude: get your friends together, have fun, make art and share it!

We bring you a big finish with Newcastle legends Fish Fry getting us off to a roaring start with 24 Hours from Tulsa. Maynard and Zorica demonstrate Rodney Cambridge MBE’s Lamington Recipe (concluding it’s easier to go to the bakery). Finally, Nastassja Bassi haunts us from 1986 with a beautiful version of Wuthering Heights.

Watch our third and final show from Newcastle Museum.
