Both Children and Adults alike had a fantastic time singing and dancing at the main Steampacket Stage when Beau Young and his friend Lion took to the stage and performed songs the wildly anticipated Wild anamalz CD.
Within minutes of hearing each song, the kids were doing the actions and singing along. They were having such a great time that by the end of the performance, many of the children were actually up on stage dancing with Lion and Beau.
The whole anamalz team were thrilled to see so many happy smiling faces as Beau performed, and were especially pleased with the overwhelming positive response from members of the crowd who had nothing but praise for what they described as a “fresh sound in children’s music”.
