From September 1992 it’s Sunday Afternoon Fever celebrating all things Brady in a bumper 3 hour episode with music, interviews and a special Brady Maynard’s Mastermind. We also let the people of Australia decide, by voting for their favourite Brady member.

Mrs Fred Sinatra of Las Vegas is along to give advice on love, Lance of The Hollywood Kids has gossip about the opening night of Fire Walk With Me, as well a the exciting new Drew Barrymore TV project with Aaron Spelling 2000 Malibu Road.

We speak with Christopher Knight, Peter Brady himself about being the fictional middle child and how he feels about the opening night of The Real Live Brady Bunch.

The Soloway sisters join us with Warren Coleman to talk about the afternoon they came up with the idea for The real Live Brady Bunch show in their lounge room (their mum thought it would get them in trouble). Jill Soloway has since gone on to write Six Feet Under among many other projects and Warren has won an Oscar.

Andrew G takes questions from the listeners on all things Brady while in between we hear some music from Caligula, Screamin” Jay Hawkins, Def Fx, The Shamen, Utah Saints, Cracker, Stray Cats and more. Quite the afternoon of listening ahead of you.

We miss you Florence Henderson.

Second in the series recorded as I hosted the Totally 80s tour across Australia in July, this show takes you from Perth via Adelaide to Hobart.We hear from excited fans as well as Terri Nunn (talking Giorgio Moroder), Paul Lekakis (giving lifestyle tips), Robyn Loau (taking you on a journey to the darker side of Adelaide) & Stacey Q.

Stacey Q had two huge worldwide hits in 1986 with Two of Hearts & We Connect. She was under an illness cloud for some of the tour and I managed to interview her in-between bouts of flu.

Does it sound like we are having fun?

We are.

The tour continues…

First in a series of interviews with the audience and artists recorded during the Totally 80s tour across Australia in July. Dave Sterry is Real Life who performed Catch Me I’m Falling & Send Me An Angel during the show. He has some great stories to tell. I spoke to him backstage in Perth.

You’ll also hear from perhaps the wildest show of the tour in Sydney, as I braved the overexcited thousands of Totally 80s fans to find out how THEY enjoyed the Enmore Theatre show.

This tour is just getting started….

Maynard, MC for the Totally 80s tour across Australia

I join the Totally 80s tour tonight in Melbourne at The Palais, so for the rest of the month it’s the touring life once again. I’ve already met Real Life, Ivan (Men Without Hats), Paul Lekakis (he’s a live wire) and the very versatile backing band.

The dancers have warned me that people jumped onstage on the Gold Coast and caused a moment of unstructured narrative in the show.

Give me a wave, but remember you can’t hear of see a thing from the stage.

Sydney tomorrow night…..

Hordern Pavilion Dance Party Special

 Hordern Dance Party Special with Maynard from Hordern Pavilion Dance Party Special. Maynard

With the recent passing of DJ Paul Holden I was inspired to post the entire hour of a Special I did on Rewind on Channel V in 2001. Using footage originally shot at many dance parties by Charles Amsden in 1988 – 1990. I put some memorabilia and the clips of all the original house tracks. (although I know the Rozalla track is a remix, but we couldn’t find a broadcast version of the original Everybody’s Free at that time.)

Enjoy, the show is dedicated to DJ Paul Holden and everyone else who was there.

Maynard plays a DJ set in Wickham that was so impressive he has never been asked back. Live from the Lass O Gowrie hotel.

Despite few people getting up to dance, it contains some of my favourite tracks. I thought you may enjoy being shaken and stirred.

Groove to these great tunes and go find them on iTunes.

Dave Mason of The Reels played a great cinematic gig at The Golden Age Cinema in Sydney last week. Dave of course, wouldn’t be interviewed, but I did get to speak with a few famous faces in the crowd (and Tony Push) enjoy. The show was actually quite moving.
