What Musical Balloon Band - Live Music with A Twist! says

Toddler and baby music, movement and percussion session with balloons. Interactive and educational sessions for babies, toddlers, children and grown ups across all ages. Numbers, colours, co-ordination, rhythm, movement, sounds, socialisation, creativity and self-expression are made fun with live music inspired by popular and jazz music with hints of global and classical too. Original songs and well known favourites are given our distinctive flavour. All this plus balloon sculptures and Cecily 'the balloon' Donkey - the star of the show plus her ballooney friends.

About

The Musical Balloon Band was created by Verona Chard who is a professional performer, composer, lyricist, tutor, producer and writer. Donkey Dots Music was commissioned by Neil Chandler general manager at the New Wimbledon Theatre and the Fairfield Halls, Croydon where she also performed Musical Balloon Band Proms performances. Verona is also co-director and producer of various other projects at the Olde Watermill. You can find out more about her at www.veronachard.co.uk and www.musicalballoonband.com. During the pandemic everything moved online with the invaluable help of her actor and director husband Andrew Fettes and enjoyable unplanned appearances by Oscar and Chilli the 'cool' cats. Verona works closely with pianist, multi-instrumentalist and composer and her musical director Chris Neill and for the full Live Shows and for full band appearances with Roan Kearsey-Lawson on vibraphone, tuned and untuned percussion also multi-disciplinary performer Andrew Fettes, actor, director and Uke and Tom Neill multi-instrumentalist. We invite guest headliners for the full band shows including Winston Clifford - drums and Paul Morgan and Ann-Marie Atkins - Souzaphone, sax, steel-pan.
