Pajamazon Jungle

 ”What really kept me engaged was the sheer level of lyrical intellect and complexity, something that promises to keep the parents entertained while the kids are having a blast. Excellent morals delivered in a wonderful way by passionate people.”  What’s On Sydney 

“Season Two is a sensational album – sonically rich, and showing off some seriously impressive musicianship. It’s also wonderfully entertaining, with the hilarious ‘Mr. Potato’ one of the best cuts.” Kinderling Radio

“Escombe’s group is beautifully together, experienced and artfully aware of what excites children… The parents will love the show, because the music is top notch and the overarching philosophy right on point, giving them a break from the passionately loved songs of Peppa Pig and that Disney obsession we all love to hate.” Lisa Thatcher

Duration: 45-60 minutes

We’re keen to talk to presenters with local orchestras, or classic and contemporary music groups for a concert collaboration opportunity that sees local musicians work with The Vegetable Plot to produce a special concert for families.

The collaboration starts online and can be facilitated in just 2-3 days in town, and incorporates well-known family classics such as ‘Peter and the Wolf’ along with Vege Plot favourites for a concert the whole community can enjoy. It’s a fantastic opportunity to include local artists and performers in an event that will introduce the joy of classical music to children as young as 2.

In a nutshell:

• 7 fully orchestrated Vegetable Plot songs plus classical favourites.
• for local orchestras we’d need a local conductor to assist.
• can be adapted to chamber orchestras, local choirs, bands, and music groups.
• Best suited to adult groups and musicians with some experience
