Aunty Jack Sings Wollongong

Settle back, close your eyes and be transported to a day in the life of Aunty Jack with Thin Arthur and Kid Eager."

Norman Gunston spots Aunty Jack in the audience, and starts to introduce her, but Kid Eager jumps in instead with a dance.

We then are transported to Spider Farrelly's Bucks Party with his steel-worker mates - during their lunch break - who are entertained by the Ri Fol Tit Men.

The duo sing three songs accompanied by a harpsichord until they are shouted off by the steel workers for their foul language (which is only of "poo, bum, wee" grade).

Norman Gunston on the radio interrupts with one of his "What's On In Wollongong" segments, introducing the Farrelly Brothers who sing a Bush Ballad that sounds suspiciously more Hawaiian than Australian, due no doubt to the dangerous substance they inhaled.

Aunty Jack and her band The Gongs sing a song with Flange Desire showing her limited skills in a keyboard solo.

Aunty Jack climbs up to intervene and winds up jamming with the legendary Japanese blues star Blind Josh Orange Drop Mitsubishi and his side-man harp player Muddy Mahawat.

John Derum normally played the character Narrator Neville, but left at the end of the first series, being replaced by Garry McDonald.
