About Me

Teaparties and Pirates

The Ragamuffin Children like tea parties, living room concerts and singing about serious and sensible subjects such as war and poverty and also about whimsical things such as aliens and hot air balloon adventures
They recently released their Debut Album through 'She'll be right' records, With the help of Jody Lloyd(Trillion, Dark Tower) who is really nice, and if you ever see him you should shake his hand and tell him he is wonderful.
Anita's dog makes an appearance on the album along with lots of wonderful musicians.
They also like Pirates, The number 108, Graveyards, Riding Bycycles, Going on Adventures and Nursery Rhymes

She'll Be Right showcase tour

Our show at Ya Ya Teahouse the other night was quite wonderful.Anita thought it was quite possibly her most favourite show we have played.Our friends Tui and Benjamin played with us
Currently we are booking shows for a She'll be right Showcase tour of New Zealand which will be in November!
We will be playing along with some other nice people including..
THE EASTERN
TRILLION
JOHN WHITE
and possibly Andy Gibson...
I imagine it will be very exciting indeed, tour dates will be going up soon on our page.
If you would like us to play a living room concert at your house and you live between Auckland and Wellington let us know....
