The Wiggles - Greg Page, Anthony Field, Jeff Fatt, Murray Cook Murray Cook - The Red Wiggle "I wanted to teach, but looking at early childhood, it seemed like there was a lot more of the arts involved in it, and that was something I was really interested in. In early childhood education there's lots of...you use a lot of music and art and movement, so I thought that was something that I could really commit to and really get involved in and enjoy. " Murray Cook on George Negus Tonight (07/16/2003) Born: June 30, 1960 Family: Married with 2 children Height: 6'4" Murray is the guitar playing Wiggle. When not Wiggling he plays in a local Australian band Bangshangalang. Murray is also well known for making faces, and puts that talent to use for The Wiggles. Anthony Field - The Blue Wiggle "The Macquarie University Institute of Early Childhood Studies opened my eyes to the fascinating world of child development and where children are coming from."

He changed to blue because there was confusion between him and Dorothy. Anthony also loves to sing, and his deep baritone voice works well with The Wiggles musical arrangements. Jeff Fatt - The Purple Wiggle Jeff Fatt: I got this call from Anthony. "Hello, Anthony. Go away, go away. I'm not interested," you know. He's always got these ideas for things. He said, "I've got this project… this project to make a children's album." And he said, "Come down to the studio." And I said… Anthony Field: You said, "How long will it take?" Jeff Fatt on George Negus Tonight (07/16/2003) Born: July 21, 1953 Height 5 feet, 10 inches Family: Single Jeff is the purple Wiggle who plays the keyboard and the accordian. He is also very well known for falling asleep. A common phrase while watching The Wiggles, is "Wake Up Jeff". Jeff also seems to have a thing for cows. Greg Page - The Yellow Wiggle "Quite often we refer to what we do now as teaching a larger classroom, because so many of the skills that we learned...management skills about how you talk to children - not talking down to them, talking to them in a way that makes them feel like they're an equal with you." Greg Page on George Negus Tonight (07/16/2003) Born January 16th 1972 Height: 6'5" Family: Married (Michelle) with 2 children Greg was influenced by, and likes Elvis, and says it is no secret that Elvis' success was based on the fact that he could wiggle, even saying that Elvis knew how to wiggle better than the Wiggles do! If you have watched The Wiggles you would have guessed that Greg is a big magic fan. But he also loves computers and technology. His love for cricket and technology led him to form a company that produces a web site that teaches people how to play and coach cricket. (www.cricketcoach.com). Greg not only sings with The Wiggles. He currently has 6 solo CDs released outside of the children's entertainment field. I have not found a source for these CDs in the United States yet. As soon as they are available the source will be listed here.
