Outdoor musical fun for all the family!
Fresh from her popular sessions at Mother Goose Wildlife Garden and School Outdoors Dulwich, Bangers & Smash co-founder, Kitty Pidduck, presents these family music sessions inspired by wildlife and the outdoors!
Bangers & Smash co-founders, Sarah Allen and Kitty Pidduck, in the Mother Goose Wildlife Garden
With songs – traditional and new – about everything from minibeasts and native animals to planting and growing, sessions are fun, friendly and hands-on.
There’s also the opportunity to create and play junk instruments along to family favourites like:
There’s A Worm At The Bottom Of My Garden
When The Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbing Along
Five Little Speckled Frogs
There’s A Tiny Caterpillar On A Leaf
In And Out The Dusty Bluebells
Five Little Ducks Went Swimming One Day
Junk instrument-making with Bangers & Smash in the Mother Goose Wildlife Garden
And with a host of beautiful original songs as well – Wildflowers In The Grass, Owl Babies, Flutter By, Dig Your Spade In and more – little smashers and their families are in for a musical treat!
Why not book your own Bangers & Smash wildlife session?
If you’re an outdoor or arts setting – or a parent, carer, nursery or children’s centre – and would like to discuss setting up one or more wildlife sessions, please get in touch here.
Sessions are led by Kitty Pidduck (guitar/voice) and there’s also the option of bringing in Bangers & Smash co-founder, Sarah Allen (flute/accordion), or another musician if budget allows!
