The Wiggles

The Wiggles are a children's musical group formed in Sydney, Australia in 1991. Their original members were Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Greg Page, and Jeff Fatt. In 2006, Gerg was forced to retire from the group due to illness and was replaced by understudy Sam Moran.

Originally, Field and Fatt were in the pop 80's band, The Cockroaches. Cook and Page at Macquarie University, where they were studying to become pre-school teachers. A school project led to the recording of their first album and tour in 1991. As a result of their background, the group combines music and theories of child development in their videos, television programs, and live shows. Since their inception, other regular characters (Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, and Wags the Dog) and a troupe called "The Wiggly dancers" have toured with them and appeared in their CDs, DVDs, and television programs.

They have released a handfull of DVD's, videos, and CD's. The group has also franchised their group in other countries such as UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand and Japan. They have won several awards for their music and performances.

In November of 2006, Greg Page was forced to leave the group after being diagnosed with a disease that did not allow him to walk. He was replaced with Sam Moran as a former Wiggly dancer and singer.

Greg is feeling alot better since 2006, but if he wants to come back, he will have to 100% better. But he will be better but he will have to see if he feels up to it again. Also Sam might become the Opera Singer again when Greg comes back.
