Even bumped into Rodney Cambridge at the beach after one performance. I seem to recall Mikey Robbins also doing "Elvis" as part of the show. They were a hoot and a pity there are so few archives of the work they created...Kim Flintoffhttp://www.kimflintoff.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035053.post-9713652541360792192009-02-03T16:12:00.000+11:002009-02-03T16:12:00.000+11:00The two singles you mentioned were from The Globos...The two singles you mentioned were from The Globos, Melbourne based group featuring Bob Downe among others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035053.post-66919445132037038202009-01-18T09:58:00.000+11:002009-01-18T09:58:00.000+11:00I was at university in Newcastle and saw the Casta...I was at university in Newcastle and saw the Castanet's live a few times. They were genius.<BR/><BR/>I googled Castanet Club a few months ago looking for any recordings of theirs - I have a tape from one of their gigs, which I've just converted into mp3's so I can listen to it without dragging the old walkman out! <BR/><BR/>I did find Maynards website, but it does'nt look too current.pixielationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13554997386379768395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035053.post-42523550109451534092008-10-31T15:29:00.000+11:002008-10-31T15:29:00.000+11:00For those into the Castanet club, some sad news.

I remember seeing them so vividly on Countdown, they were the maddest people I'd ever seen on telly (yes, even topping Iggy Pop wearing nothing but orange spandex leggings). I knew as soon as I saw Bob Downe years later than I had seen him before but it took me ages to make the connection!<BR/><BR/>Angela does Play School concerts, we've seen her twice now. it's funny because she does actually have that Shirley edge to her voice sometimes and it's a cack. first time round I got her autograph for The Dinghy but when I asked how Shirley was she gave me a funny, wry sort of look and said something about Shirley being put to rest. <BR/><BR/>the concept of Shirley and the Sandman married with children still makes me giggle ;-)worldpeace and a speedboathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00735857941964784431noreply@blogger.com
