Tim Ritchie has been involved in the musical life of Sydney since the 70s. He has fallen into early morning photography (via bicycle) for a few years now and his first exhibition is open all this month at Folonomo Gallery in Bourke St.

Let’s get arty, talking with Tim Ritchie, Paris from Groovescooter, DJ ADHD, Jay Katz, Miss Death & Tony Push at the opening night.

Music: Optimism by On The Area Steps

Check out Tim Ritchie’s exhibition this month as part of the Sydney Fringe Festival.

This Friday night sees the return to The Sly Fox hotel in Enmore of Jack The House 4.

DJ Mark Dynamix, Steve Gordon & Phil Smart will be bringing you the sounds from 1988 – 1992 that you haven’t heard that loud, or ever heard at all.

The mixed happy crowd that is the trait of Jack The House will be grooving to some Manchester and Madchester sounds as well as a fair dose of Hip House.

Note in the show that Maynard always says “Madchester”, while Mark says “Manchester”. If anybody is wrong, it’s probably Maynard.

DJ Mark Dynamix joined Maynard at Madame Frou Frou cafe to explain to him why Happy Mondays are the go this time round.

All you need to know about Jack The House 4 Friday night

Tim Ferguson is off to the Edinburgh Festival with the Doug Anthony All Stars, Maynard has just returned from an Australian wide tour with lots of 80s stars. So they have a lot to talk about.

They answer your Crankmail and mention Vengaboys and Limahl.

This show Tim has some handy hints on how to start a fight while flying and how to deal with with those pesky English hecklers.

By the end of Bunga Bunga 31 we will have lived up to our usual Bunga Bunga guarantee that you will be no wiser, but you may have learned something.

The beautiful and talented Kim Wilde returns to tour Australia in November 2016 with the always polite Howard Jones.

Kim Wilde speaks to us from her lounge room today about her music, her garden and her hair.

I remind Kim of the last time we met, which naturally she has no recollection of, but she still has an ironic joy of certain 80s bands as you will hear.

She takes some of your questions and gets ready for your selfie sticks.

Warning, interview contains unconventional use of peanut butter.

Kim Wilde and Howard Jones tour details:

Maynard & Tim Ferguson take their Bunga Bunga podcast to Supanova Sydney 2016. They want to see the colour, costumes and FANS that make it a wild day out. AND they tackle the Burning Social Issue; Rebels or Empire?

Bunga Bunga 29 finds Tim Ferguson & Maynard deep in thought and lentil burgers at the Madame Frou Frou cafe. This show has them debating a new national tune while Tim reveals he has no idea who Dita von Teese is.

Our Burning Social Issue gets you naked as Tim discovers the historical roots of the Greens party, and won’t let you forget it (hint; lederhosen).

We thank our Patreon supporters for this show, please join them.

Jeff Duff has been on the Australian and UK music scene causing a stir since the 1970s. Jeff foolishly invited Maynard to visit his funky Elizabeth Bay pad in Sydney to hear first hand, stories from his book This Will Explain Everything. Rude bits aplenty.

This fan site about Jeff Duff will explain anything his book may have missed.

Here is Jeff’s Walk on the Wildside with Bowie’s makeup artist.

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain explore similarities in My Way & Life On Mars.

In your full spread edition of Bunga Bunga 28, Maynard visits the Doug Anthony All Stars at their Sydney show. It seems the highly bicurious audience has some Crankmail questions for Tim Ferguson.

Tim gives away the secret to immortality, but still has time for some strong words of advice for the ABC.

But we can safely end the war on terror as we openly accuse a watermelon of kidnapping.

The Pirate Party

Of course you can always vote for Tim Ferguson, using a Post It note. If you are wondering what his full policies might be, we refer you to the last time Tim ran for Election.

The Sandman, Steve Abbott is back to let you know where he’s been and maybe where he’s not going.

What Happened To Sandman – or How I Became A Birdwatcher.

Starts in Canberra May 28 and 29 at Street 2 Theatre. Depending on how Steve and his Director Warren Coleman feel, it may go as far as Taree, maybe even further.

Steve is a very engaging performer that you can spend time in a small room with without regret. Last time I checked, no other show in Australia was offering visual proof of an audience epiphany. Not even those really well State funded shows with costumes.

Bunga Bunga catches Election Fever as Tim Ferguson & Maynard let you in on Tim’s plans for taking over the Federal government. We take your suggestions and give most of them back. Name some authors you could write better than, and tell you how to talk to girls.

Bunga Bunga 27 comes out fighting and throws its considerable weight behind The Pirate Party & The Arts Party.

No local politicians have returned our calls.
