Tom Jones Rewind special

Apr 24, 2022 Maynard

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.

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.

Almost Live From The Castanet Club – Ep 3

Aug 29, 2021 Maynard

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.

The Castanet Club Comes to YOU!

Jul 14, 2021 Maynard

Maynard brings the colour and movement that was The Castanet Club 1982-1991 into your home (for 61 very odd minutes)*.

Videos and songs from Castanet Club archives, as well as some photos even we’ve never seen. The Castanets make themselves at home at your place. See the Newcastle Museum exhibition from afar, close up and live from Maynard International Studios. Plus videos of a few of the artists that influenced The Castanet Club.

Using only sticky tape and a Gestetner machine see what Maynard can do with some really old photo slides and VHS tapes.

*show may not go as planned. Some viewers may be underwhelmed.

Here is the first show from Saturday 17th July, The Castanet Club Comes to YOU!
