Wiggling for Unicef

These next few shots are from the Wiggles Concert for Unicef a couple of weeks ago. It seems that there has been so much that has been happening, it is only when I am relatively quiet do I have a chance to enjoy the moment. I don't pose that statement as a gesture of regret however, I believe it is more of an expression of gratitude that I get to do what I do, and that I get the chance to relive it again and again.




The big red car arriving on stage.


The view when the audience was asked to turn on their mobile phones and wave the displays in the air. It is amazing, even for a moment, when a group of people can feel so totally in harmony. A simple and wonderful moment.


A great moment when Australian rocker Jimmy Barnes came on stage dressed as the 5th Wiggle and sang "Wake up Jeff" as only Jimmy can. Denzel gave a look on his face that suggested he knew the song but it sounds different!!!


The Finale was made great with the congo line kicked off by Dorothy the Dinosaur, one of the Wiggles dancers, a niece of Anthony, the Famous Leo Sayer, the 3 gorgeous McClymont sisters, Katie Noonan, 2 more Wiggles dancers, Anthony Field-Blue Wiggle, Richard Wilkins-Media presenter, 3x more Wiggles Dancers, Miss Australia World contestant, A nearly hidden Ross Wilson, Becky Cole, Shannon Noll, John Paul Young - "Love is in the air", Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus, Damien Leith- former Australian idol, Jimmy Barnes, Jeff Fatt - Purple Wiggle, Kate Ceberano, Captain Feathersword, Sam Moran - New Yellow Wiggle and Murray - Red Wiggle. It was a hoot to see all of these artists from different musical genres mixing it up with the wiggles and gave us a small insight, that whilst they are individually unique and great, when there is a good cause and where children are involved, the individual threads wove together and created a beautiful musical tapestry of harmony and joy. I am fortunate that we were able to be there as guests.


One last image which doesn't show the full imapct of what I saw, was the amount of prams that were like a pram car park. It was amazing, and the cue, forget it!!!

Must have been a real treat to be at the Wiggles concert Craig. My daughter loves their collaboration with Leo Sayer, she wanders about the house singing "You Make me Feel Like Dancing" on the top of her lungs!! Lovely to hear that you enjoyed it so much. LisC

It was a treat Lis. We were invited to meet with Leo Sayer as well, and I had to post pone us meeting because I had another assignment. It is such a clever association, it helps revive the song for Leo Sayer and introduces it to a whole new generation and audience. Clever marketing alright!. Your daughter goes to prove it!!!
