Straight from the corpus christie catholic college at camperdown ,Sister gwen and friends never fail to fascinate and entertain with their barrage of questions to radio talkshow host and all round barroom intellectual peter hand. Learn the mystery of the word whoompah and theorigin of the word bloouse through nigels constant struggle with the english
language.

Be entertained by gwens theories on poetry and gang warfare, Discover the joy of cooking with pea water and how good it is for your digestive tract. And see why tony durham (judiths father) never made it with the seekers and why he is so proud of his famous daughter.

Most of all be entertained and raise your intellectual bar just a few millimetres higher. Guaranteed not to cause birth defects or heart murmurs

Sister Gwen McKay
Hand Job (Dual Plover)
More nutso stuff from demented Sydney indie label Dual Plover, this is a
whole CD of weird prank calls made to former 2GB radio talk show host Peter
Hand by some guy (Sydney music and performance artist Sweden, in fact)
calling himself Sister Gwen McKay. Frail old Gwen calls Peter to basically
talk around and around in circles about as many pointless topics as
possible, asking stuff like, 3Do you know how to make pork chops like those
found in a Chinese restaurant?2 But Sister Gwen is only one of this lunatic
caller1s many alter-egos. He also assaults the AM-airwaves as a crazy Indian
character, a senile old woman in a nursing home and Judith Durham1s father.
What1s the point? Ummm...

Sister Gwen McKay - Handjob (Dual Plover)




Published by Bob Baker Fish February 21st, 2006 in Reviews Issue #13
Okay we all know there’s a precedent. The Jerky Boys putting on accents and savagely harassing hapless clerks, Neil Hamburger and Mike Patton getting some crank action going and more obscurely Savage Vigilance for a rug free America where a few folks tormented evangelist radio stations in the US. Hell even lame FM radio are doing it (albeit poorly) these days. So it’s not a new idea, but it’s damn funny. Sister Gwen McKay is an insane a Scottish nun and Nigel is a confused Indian gentleman attempting to come to grips with some specific English words and together with a few other alter egos they’re tormenting late night AM radio announcers in Sydney. 2GB gets a hammering and they deserve it because it’s incredible how rude and patronising those fuckers are. It works because the creator, whoever the hell he is clearly did a bit of research and delights in walking the tightrope of believability. It’s not all genius but even when it doesn’t seem to be working, it’s setting up material for a later joke. Sister Gwen’s three items for 45 cents speech is so funny I in all honestly almost crashed my car whilst listening. And it doesn’t matter how many times you hear it, it doesn’t get any easier to cope with.
