Sunshine Coast resident Graham Walker loves performing for children and it shows. He gets kids singing like a cat or braying like a donkey, and from all we hear, big kids love it, too. On Sunday afternoon, Feb. 8, at 2 p.m., he'll turn the Pender Harbour Music Society's Performance Centre into a zoo full of fun animals - or at least kids that like to be kangaroos, toads, grasshoppers, frogs and rabbits. To get your happy feet hopping, make sure you wear your funniest, wildest, wackiest socks. This show is aimed at kids one to eight years old, but even older kids and adults who never want to grow up will enjoy it, too.
Graham has performed all over Canada and creates a marvelously silly world of imagination and joy. He has numerous CDs to his credit, is a prolific writer of children's songs and has just recorded a new CD, titled Knobbledee Knees.
"I feel like I'm scattering seeds of nonsense, humour and fun wherever I go," he says, "kind of like Johnny Appleseed. I like singing because it's a great way to make friends, and as one of my songs says, 'Friends are better than crocodiles!'"
Tickets are $2 for children and $5 for adults and are available at John Henry's in Garden Bay, Harbour Insurance in Madeira Park, Talewind Books and Magic Sound in Sechelt and Coast Books in Gibsons, as well as at the door. For more information, call 604-883-2403.
