Aussie children’s stars The Wiggles learn Welsh for Cardiff show
If you’ve had kids anytime in the last 30 years there is every chance you would have encountered The Wiggles.
No, it’s not medical condition, but rather the Aussie children’s music group who have become huge global stars and regularly sell out arenas worldwide.
On the weekend the Antipodean outfit brought their latest live extravaganza ‘The Tree of Wisdom Spectacular Tour’ to Wales where they put on quite the show at the Utilita Arena in Cardiff.
One amazing moment came when the group, with a Welsh flag draped at the back of the stage, all launched into a faultless performance of one of the greatest songs of all time – Calon Lân.
And this being Wales, the land of song, the several thousand families in attendance couldn’t help but lend their impressive voices to the performance.
It appears, there is a story behind how The Wiggles came to perform the spine-tingling Welsh song on stage.
According to Welsh influencer and star content producer Dheanasaur, who attended the show, the Aussie group worked with a Welsh woman to learn the words to Calon Lân so they could perform it on stage in the Welsh capital.
Luckily, a very excited Dheanasaur had footage which he posted on Instagram.
As you can imagine this lovely detour into the Welsh language went down very well.
Watch and enjoy!
