fandangle

Who or What is Fandangle you may ask?  Fandangle was originally a community television program screening on channel 31 in Sydney Australia. It was a music program featuring some of the most respected Australian and International blues bands and musicians.

The program was filmed in some of the most popular hotels and clubs, frequented by loyal music lovers who danced to the tune of professional entertainment.

How it all Started
Producer and Director Daryl Williams provided full production services for an info-tainment television program called Simply Living in Sydney. At the end of the programs season, Daryl and his wife decided to produce their own television program focusing on the subject they loved most of all - music. This was the beginning of Fandangle.

You could say Fandangle was a family affair.

The Kovacs Brothers

Ryan and Guy were vibrant, exciting and entertaining in their roles hosting the Fangangle show. They attracted a large audience and recieved many accolades from thier admiring fans.

Daryl and Anita

Daryl and Anita  had many memorable moments filming a lot of blues bands who are well respected in Australia and internationally.

The closure of channel 31 brought an end to some very innovative and creative community television programs, including Fandangle. It was a sad time not only for the program providers but also to their faithful, admiring viewers.

Even though the program Fandangle no longer screens in Sydneys new TVS channel 31, the Fandangle website continues to live on with heartfelt appreciation to our programs viewers and to all the bands we were privileged to film.

The Present
Daryl has moved on with a variety of interests such as filmmaking, machinima, computer programming, research in content management systems and networked media production. The Fandangle website is now a reflection of his interests.
