Reggae Rockin Grandad
Reggae Rockin Grandad - Squeezebox.

Come on this enthralling musical adventure with CJ and a host of zany puppet characters and experience Spanish Flamenco, Reggae, Blues, Country music and more live in your school. First stop for Nigel Crocodile, Lewis Lion, Scratch Dog, Wise Clive and our host CJ, is Spain. It’s there we dress appropriately and experience not just the sights and sounds of the Flamenco Guitar but by singing along to an interactive local song, everyone learns a little of the local language.

This compelling, fully interactive, curriculum based show is designed to deepen children’s knowledge of music and to inspire them to participate in the performing arts, and the creation of music.

Simultaneously laugh-out-loud funny and educational, Reggae Rockin’ Grandad has students totally absorbed as they leap at the many opportunities to participate; enthusiastically singing and dancing as instructed by CJ as they join him onstage. To the utter delight of everyone, some students even get the opportunity to improvise as they model an outrageous collection of clothing reflecting both musical genres and traditional dress from across various regions, eras and fads.

CJ (aka) Dominic Finley. A former member of the British chart topping band Cutting Crew now lives in Victoria. As well as being an accomplished musician, performer, and comedian, Dominic is a highly skilled ventriloquist (you’ll never see his mouth move while his puppets are speaking).

What schools have said about CJ's previous performances:

Excellent. Knows how to interact with children and keep them engaged. The students enjoyed the range of music and the interaction the performer had with the crowd.
