About Ukeboxbaby
Ukeboxbaby burst onto the children’s music entertaiment scene in a puff of glitter, bubbles and streamers, securing huge gigs including Camp Bestival, a leading family music festival on one of the largest stages – The Big Top, which holds 5,000 people. Ukeboxbaby has performed at this award winning festival for the last three years. In addition, Ukeboxbaby has performed at Brighton Fringe Festival to sell out audiences on some of the largest stages. Other performances include no less than Brighton’s acclaimed Komedia theatre, Brighton’s Spiegeltent, Fat Boy Slim’s Big Beach Cafe and many more, always to sell out audiences.
Ukeboxbaby shows are perhaps the most interactive shows out there for children, they keep children extremely entertained all the way through. They are also educational and very creative. Founder of Ukeboxbaby, performer and singer, Penny Honey is an ex teacher and a mum, which means she understands how to keep young children very entertained. What’s more, her shows are compiled in line with EYFS. Penny is a firm believer that music is the strongest form of magic. She is on a mission to spread the joy of music to growing minds through the power of the ukulele.
Ukeboxbaby shows include ukulele song lessons, giant balloons, confetti cannons, silly string, water guns and even hoola hoops to bring the stories to life. Founder, Penny Honey, has created three extremely creative shows – ‘The Rainbow Fish’ based in the sea, ‘Monkey Snap’, based in the jungle and ‘Into The Stars’ based in space. Each show has a poinient moral message and includes optional simple ukulele lessons on stage for the children. The shows include covers and original songs that parents recognise from the dance scene, children’s songs, often mixed in with a dance beat by Ukeboxbaby’s resident DJ, ‘DJ Daddy’, plus Ukeboxbaby’s own songs, produced for the show. You can find Ukeboxbaby’s songs on Spotify and Apple Music.
