About Froggy's Famous Fanclub
Jake started working with pre school children nearly 20 years ago with a music friend, Bea Couch, who runs her own music sessions: Bea's Baby Music. Jake started working in several nurseries including Blundell's nursery in Battersea (now Working Mums Nursery, Battersea) where he has played music session for the children twice a week for 18 years. Initially using nursery rhymes and well known singing games like 'Sleeping Bunnies', Jake developed his repertoire of kid-friendly music and has written and adapted songs and games to provide a unique and dynamic way of enjoying and sharing live music with the whole family.
Within a year Jake was working as a musician in three nurseries and was getting known as a specialist in Children's music. This led to writing and performing music for children's TV with cameo performances in CBeebies' Rhyme Rocket and composing/performing the Channel 5 children's animation 'Birdbath', where Jake performed as an animated song thrush and wrote over 60 songs for the show.The Curious Animal song is a fav episode & it was great fun to write a really folky sounding song.
You can still buy the DVD for Birdbath if any of you still have a DVD player ?
Or look for episodes on the net click here for an episode
You can still buy a DVD of Birdbath or watch them online. Yes it is Jake singing on the tree playing a lute thing which is pretty hard with wings
This is the hello song I wrote for the tea time treats. I think I've nearly said hello to everyone now
This a demo of the Dino song featuring the marvelous vocals of Rebecca Bennet who was my lead singer in the Tea Time Treats
Let's go to Hawaii is a fun ukulele song where we get to row a boat, climb a coconut tree, hula dance & surf ! Phew
