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.

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.

Video – Rewind Volume 2, Kinselas nightclub.

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.

A show about a CD from Kinselas night club. How 2001 is that?

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.

Still from Dee Lite music clip
Love some Deee-Lite

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.

Maynard with Kylie Minogue interview 1997

Video – Roller-skates on a Saturday night.

This Saturday night on Channel V, yet more precision roller-skating from Emma & Leah of Q Bar Sydney, while Maynard presents a collection of music clips just perfect for quarantine viewing.

The parade of pop continues with Suzi Quatro, ABBA, Rod Stewart, Barry Manilow, The Monkees, Do Re Mi, Sex Pistols, Pseudo Echo, Chic and more.

Warning: the sad ABBA clip may make you a bit weepy.

Resplendent in flanno pyjamas and tiger feet slippers, Maynard invites you to relax with a show which has something for everyone.

Right Said Fred, I'm Too Sexy for my car.
He IS too sexy for his car, and that hat come to think of it.

More roller-skates in this show

Video – Olivia Newton John – off her skates.

Olivia Newton John was in Brisbane in 1999 and Maynard renewed his acquaintance with her for an hour, talking about her music and movie career.

Starting with Sam (1977), then Grease (1979), on to Xanadu (1980) and then to her getting Physical (1981).

Spend an hour with Livvy.

It was the 20th anniversary of the Grease movie and soundtrack, and she discussed her nervousness at auditioning for the role of Sandy for Alan Carr, even though he had specifically asked her to take the role, after meeting her at a dinner party at Helen Reddy’s Los Angeles home.

Kylie Minogue on Rewind with Maynard 1997

1997 was a great year for Kylie Minogue, living in the busy Kylieworld of Pop.

Kylie Minogue thinking about the Kylieworld of 1997

Living in the land of Britpop, Kylie had been working on her Impossible Princess album for two years.

“Kylieworld” was the way she described her publicity schedule, level of fame and the concept of never really having to work again if she didn’t want to.

I asked her about her relationship with her record company (Deconstruction in the UK) and the future opportunities of working in the US.

She spoke about having a family (decades away), what music she’d enjoyed lately (The Verve) and about being turned away from a Club with Nick Cave the week before (they weren’t).

Kylie also gave definitive rulings on: “What to look for at a potential boyfriend’s place?”, “Favourite track of Impossible Princess?” and of course “Your favourite music clip up to now?”.

Revisit 1997’s Kylie Minogue. I’d even wear that shirt again.

Video – Maynard Avengers 60s Special

The Avengers was one of the greatest UK crime fighting shows ever. Emma Peel and John Stead took on cold war camp enemies every week with style.

Maynard presents some great 1960s music clips with the help of Tabitha on Channel V from 2000.

Beatles, Stones, Lulu and some great action packed scenes from The Avengers themselves, you’ll be amazed at what Maynard can do with an umbrella.
