Saturday night Maynardarama broadcast to the world a message of foolishness and colourful tea towels wrapped in the grooves that are so needed these days.
Enjoy a trampoline with Ann-Margret, a casually undone bow tie with Tom jones or maybe marvel at Mari Wilson changing her outfit in under 25 seconds on live TV. Tim Ferguson drops in to monkey around AND International (but mainly NSW) Tea Towel News.
Watch previous Castanet Club based video livestreams from August
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!
Watch the second (and final) Castanet Club Comes to You! from 31st July.

The We Don’t Care quiz returned briefly to only ask questions from 1988 – 1992 for some reason.
Expect questions about The Pixies (which no one got correct, shame) Kylie Minogue and Melrose Place of course.
Join Maynard, Richard Saunders and Anderson for some non intellectual Easter fun.
Madd Club video livestream brings all the inflatable wonder of half baked dancing and retro tunes into your own lounge room. From Ultravox to Pseudo Echo via Donna Summer. Enjoy the party.
Guests this month include Action Ant, Queen Kate, Tim Ferguson and DJ Campbell Drummond (What Double J Should Sound Like).
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.
The One Man Madd Club show really stepped up its game this time. To just below par.
Hear some tunes from TISM, Painters & Dockers, even Donna Summer. Maynard’s Madd Club has both sorts of music, and you mightn’t like either of them.
Enjoy the Maynard fashions from Astro Boy to Demis Roussos. Some powerful colours and pants there.
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.
It’s a half hour of colour and really far too much movement in the moody lighting of Maynard’s Madd Club livestream.
Top tunes from Tom Jones, Melissa, even Professor Elemental, with sounds to uplift you when you need it most.
We go on location to DJ Mark Alsop’s production studio to find how not wearing a shirt will get you into Pet Shop Boys show, and more.
The first One Man Madd Club live stream went off at 8:30 Friday night.
A cornucopia of kook featuring some of my favourite music, outfits and interpretive dance.
Here’s the first show in it’s entirety. Enjoy, and tune in on Friday at 8:30-9:00pm.
Watch on the Maynard Facebook page.
But what would A Very Maynard Xmas look like?
In 1998 we found out when Foxtel’s Channel V assigned Mary Datoc and Maynard to dig up clips and music from around all Foxtel channels in a way that would never happen now.
All the Channel V presenters of the time turned up at Maynard’s for an afternoon and this show was the result.
Unseen since 1998 Planet Maynard presents A Very Maynard Xmas (an El Cheapo production)
