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, Page was forced to retire
from the group due to illness and was replaced by understudy Sam Moran.
Field and Fatt were members of the Australian pop band The Cockroaches
in the 1980s, and Cook was a member of several bands before meeting Field
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.The group has franchised their
concepts to other countries, developed Wiggles sections in amusement parks
in Australia and the US, and won several recording industry awards. The
Wiggles have been called "the world's biggest preschool band" and "your
child's first rock band". The group has achieved worldwide success with
their children's albums, videos, television series, and concert appearances.
The Wiggles were named Business Review Weekly's top-earning Australian
entertainers for three years in a row. They have earned seventeen gold,
twelve platinum, three double-platinum, and ten multi-platinum awards
for sales of over 17 million DVDs and four million CDs. By 2002, The Wiggles
had become the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's (ABC's) most successful
pre-school television program. Wiggles will perform program “Wiggles
