George Tseros is an Greek-Australian bouzouki player who has performed as a musician on several Wiggles albums. Tseros has also made occasional appearances in some of the band's videos, most notably as a member of The Rosy Orchestra in the Dorothy the Dinosaur spinoff franchise.
Tseros' involvement with the band began while he was performing at the now-defunct Greek tavern Scorpios in Annandale, New South Wales. One night, Anthony Field came to the tavern to have dinner with his wife, Miki (who is of Greek descent), and he gave his phone number to the owner of Scorpios to relay to Tseros to discuss doing a recording session with the group, and subsequently kept inviting him for further sessions.[1]
Outside of recording with the Wiggles, Tseros mainly works as a mechanic and has performed at various Greek-themed social gatherings and live events across Sydney.
