Pork chop guitar from The Aunty Jack Show

This is the pork chop guitar made famous on The Aunty Jack Show in the 1970s. Its owner was Kev Kavanagh, a bodgie butcher and ‘meat-artist’ from Wollongong, and a character invented by comedian Grahame Bond who played him on the show. It's an outrageous comic prop from the landmark show that broke the rules of Australian TV in the 1970s.

With a signature curly-haired mullet, sideburns and crushed velvet attire, Grahame Bond based Kev on a clichéd characterisation of Aussies who moved overseas to be part of swinging London in the '60s. The pork chop guitar was his meatiest prop and was later autographed with messages from the cast and crew, 'With special thanks to Grahame Bond for the good times spent exploring the limits of comedic lunacy’.
