Red Riding Hood: Beanstalk Arts Cello Stories

Episode notes

This week we're adventuring again into the deep dark woods, this time with Red Riding Hood (and a little help from my cello, Boris the Bird and my ukulele!). 

I'm super grateful this week to have borrowed (with permission) some songs from some fabulous fellow musicians! The wonderful 'Stomping in the Woods' is by Ruti Lachs of Active Music, and features in her album 'Stomping in the Woods' that me and my kids LOVE.  Ruti has made some lovely online workshops around these songs too - you can find the full album of songs at https://www.activemusic.ie/stomping-in-the-woods-cd.html (utterly well worth an addition to your family music collection) and find her videos on her YouTube channel, with 'Stomping in the Wood' explored here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glEooEY-IYI

I've also again sung the 'Washing Machine' song by Steve Grocott - if you know me in real life, you'll know this is a firm favourite for a bit of a dance, and one we also learn in our after school ukulele classes. Find Steve's original version at bandcamp (and all of his albums are also GREAT for families, and car journey tonic) at https://stevegrocott.bandcamp.com. 

I do hope you enjoy this weeks' podcast! If you're local to me in SE London, do remember you can join us in real life this Autumn, with a whole host of new classes starting in September with preschooler, after school and grown up ukulele classes. You can listen to our music on Spotify at 'Becky, Boris and the Beats' and find out more on the website at www.beanstalkarts.co.uk

Please do share this with your friends and leave a review if you've enjoyed the podcast!
