Joining Anthony, Murray, Sam and Jeff will be their friends Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus, singing and dancing along to Wiggles favourites such as ‘Hot Potato' and ‘Rock A Bye Your Bear'.

The Wiggles' interactive song and dance has been capturing audiences' imaginations for 17 years! They have sold in excess of 22.5 million videos/DVD's and 7 million CDs worldwide, and have been twice named Australia's Export of the Year. The Wiggles are the most Awarded children's act in Australia.

Last month, The Wiggles were named as UNICEF GOODWILL AMBASSADORS joining the ranks of Shakira, David Beckham and Roger Federer. The Wiggles have always been great supporters of organisations that help children. As UNICEF ambassadors, they will be focussing on numeracy and literacy as well as sanitation.

“UNICEF works with children in need in 150 developing countries, including Australia's Northern Territory, to improve access to clean water, healthcare, education and food. UNICEF gives all children, regardless of race or religion, the best start in life. For that reason, we feel deeply honoured to be asked to take on the role of Goodwill Ambassadors and work with UNICEF to help improve the lives of children around the world,” said Murray Cook from The Wiggles.

The Wiggles can count Robert De Niro, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker, Donna Air, Alex James, Mariella Frostrup and Sophie Ellis Bextor among their many celebrity fans.

Last year The Wiggles performed in front of over one million fans worldwide, so join in the fun this Summer with The Wiggles on their only UK tour this year!

The Grimethorpe Colliery Band was formed in 1917, as a leisure activity for the workmen at the colliery.

In 1992, shock waves reverberated around the mining community in Great Britain when the government announced its programme of pit closures. It soon became apparent that Grimethorpe was on the list of mines to be shut. Even as recently as 1992, 17 members of the band were employed at Grimethorpe Colliery. All these players were soon made redundant, and the future looked bleak. The pit closures were announced just 5 days before the band were due to contest the National Brass Band Championships at the Royal Albert Hall, London. Needless to say, the pressure was immense, the world's media seized on the band as a 'new angle' for their stories, but, as in all the best fairy tales, the band triumphed to become the Champion Band of Great Britain.

More recently the Grimethorpe Colliery band won the English National Championship held at the Guild Hall, Preston on Saturday 30 June. The band will represent England in the European Brass Band Championships held in Stavanger in May 2008
