Mike Meade began life as a cameraman at STW 9 in Perth and then achieved a modicum of fame in the 70s as a pop singer and as the co compere of music show Flashez with Ray Burgess. He also appeared on Countdown as guest compere. In 1973 he released an album 'Isolation'.
The internet hey!! when this was done I was not a singer, songwriter or musician (which is quite evident hearing this) This was never done for public consumption but just done as a bit of fun. I did some years later write and record some reasonable material but blimey...not this crap :) even more amazing is that a copy of this private album sold on ebay for $750US go figure
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you mate!!

Hey Mike great to see your still around. You absolutely made my afternoons watching Flashez. Cheers and have a merry and safe Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMike, tonight on RAGE for Retro Week, they are playing clips from Flashez. Midnight onwards. Joanne, Sydney.
ReplyDeleteHi Mike, loved Flashez back in the day. Great Aussie music show. Good to see flashez back on retro rage.
ReplyDeleteHey Mike, great to see you on the internet! Just wanted to let you know as a kid growing up in Perth in the 80s, you made my childhood afternoons fun and memorable by hosting one of my favourite game shows - "Now You See It" together with Melvin and Morton ^_^
ReplyDeleteHope you and your family are well! - Nigel
Hey Mike. Loved watching NOW YOU SEE IT in the '80s. You had a cool, unflappable demeanor next to Melvin the robot. Incidentally, who voiced him?
ReplyDeleteHey Mike Meade, Flashez was a favourite show of mine a a teenager. It was the first time I'd seen punk rock mentioned in 1976 which is something I often mention when this comes up as a topic. I always thought Mike was a cool guy. Thanks for being part of my teenage cultural landscape Mr Meade.
