Well Froggy's has been going from strength to strength this summer with the sessions in the local parks of Southfield & Earlsfield. He has also been rocking with families up & down the country on the summer festival circuit including: 'Just So Festival' 'Out There Festival' 'Camper Calling & 'Festival of Jim' . He had so much fun that by the end of the summer 'Sleeping Bunnies' had become an Ibiza dance hit !
Froggy is running still at two regular venues . Home Cafe on Garratt Lane on mondays & @ The Graveney & Meadow pub cafe in Tooting on Fridays . Both sessions will be drop in but start BEWARE they start at different times. Mondays open at 9.00 for 10.00 start & finish 11.00

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 ?
