About The Wiggles
The Wiggles are an Australian children's music group formed in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia in 1991. Since 2022, the group members are Anthony Field, Lachlan Gillespie, Simon Pryce, Tsehay Hawkins, Evie Ferris, John Pearce, Caterina Mete and Lucia Field. The Wiggles were founded in 1991 by Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt, Greg Page and Phillip Wilcher. Wilcher left the group after their first album. Page retired in 2006 due to ill health and was replaced by understudy Sam Moran, but returned in 2012, replacing Moran. At the end of 2012, Cook, Fatt and Page retired and were replaced by Gillespie, Pryce and Emma Watkins. Cook and Fatt retained their shareholding in the group and continued with Field to have input into its creative and production aspects, while engaging in occasional reunion performances. The group expanded to an eight-member line-up in 2021, at which point Watkins departed.
