These are the last two songs from Maggie Burns & Company’s “Games” which was performed at Patchs, Oxford Street, Sydney for several months in 1985. Generally at 2am! And I should know – I was there for quite a few of those performances.
Home video cameras were new and expensive and a then friend of mine had one and was happy to film the show for me. He did a bloody good job considering he’d never seen it before. The cast were a little nervous as it was the first time they’d been filmed. A couple of years later it become commonplace for fans and friends to film just about every drag show around Sydney.
I tried something different with this video. It’s in supposed HD. This meant it took about four hours to upload to Youtube. I think I’ll go back to normal quality for any future uploads!
Oh, a side note…I still have a pair of the sunglasses used at the beginning of “Coming Out of Hiding.” Well, they’re a piece of history, aren’t they? This all happened 25 years ago and at least one of the cast is no longer with us.
The end of the video – the talk spot – goes on for a minute or so longer but Youtube has a maximum clip time of 10 minutes so I had to cut it early.

Do you know what became of Stephanie Powers?
No, I have no idea. Have not heard of her for many years.
The Fabulous GODDESS and where is she now does anyone know?
She was the best and a great DJ at the Exchange Hotel in the early 1980′s.
Maggie is happily retired and living in Adelaide with Maggie Scott, who starred in many Adelaide shows over the years especially at the Mars Bar.
