August 1998, Tim Ferguson visits Jumpstart, the Maynard breakfast show on Channel v on Foxtel to promote his performance as Dr Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Show that just opened at Star Casino in Sydney.
Enjoy the milestone 50th Bunga Bunga show with Tim and Maynard
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”?
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.)
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.
Maynard interviews Tom Jones in Australia in 1988 and 1995
The power and retro poise of Aussie women is on display in this show unseen since 2000.
Groove to clips from Kate Cebrano, Christie Allen, Collette, Divinyls, Renee Geyer, Melissa, Jo Kennedy and of course Kylie AND Dannii.
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.”
Music from The Romantics, The Rubbettes, Renee Geyer, The Communards, Rod Stewart, AC/DC, even Johnny Hates Jazz.
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!
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.
Everything you ever wanted to know about the big band boy from Bankstown is on this hour special.
Plus music clips from Nina Simone, Frank, Elvis, even Bob Downe with Pastel Vespa.
In this Channel V, Rewind show Maynard looks at the year 1987, a year that featured a lot of big hits and big hair.
See the smash hits from Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Pseudo Echo, Was (Not Was) and plenty more you thought you’d put behind you.
In this Rewind show from 1997 you’ll have the usual retro excitement you expect from Maynard on an old VHS tape.
There’s the opening tension of the best plate spinning on cable TV followed by Adam Ant, Human League and The Fat Boys.
Kinselas nightclub Sydney is the setting for this journey through the Rewind Volume 2 CD (disc one).
The renovations to the middle bar had the place looking as clean as it was ever going to be. So I’m sure you’ll enjoy the decor in between the music clips.
You’ll cop tracks from MC Hammer, Bananarama, Ce Ce Peniston, Beats International, Sunscream, Snap, Blondie, Kriss Kross, De La Soul and more. It’s a packed show.
Deee-Lite was Towa Tei and DJ Dimitry, with Lady Miss Kier cooing out front of a wicked bass groove produced by legendary 70s funkster Bootsy Collins & Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest. This track is from the World Clique album featuring a lot of faux fur.
Kriss Kross are the winners of the stupidest street clothing look of the 1990s. These two thirteen year old kids Chris Smith and Chris Kelly wore their pants backwards. No wonder their follow up was called I Missed The Bus.
Allan Carr is the star on this show from 1999. Allan is on the phone from LA talking about his work on Grease, Can’t Stop The Music and his career as a producer.
Helping Maynard out with the show are Emma and Leah the rollerskating waitresses from Q Bar in Oxford Street, Sydney.
Tilley the wonder dog Whippet also appears courtesy of Smackos.
You’ll also hear lots of roller skating music from Allan Carr’s movies, you’ll see Spandeu Ballet, Transvision Vamp, Prince and a whole heap more…
Here’s another fun episode of Rewind.
