Rock all over the world with kids Funbox show

- Andrea O’Neill

Get ready to strut your funky stuff with former Singing Kettle favourites Funbox as they embark on a musical odyssey around the globe and back to East Kilbride in their brand new show – Rocking All Over the World. In the three years since their first show the Funbox gang have been pirates, princesses, superheroe­s and a variety of underwater sea creatures, to name a few guises, and have most recently been singing and stomping with dinosaurs. This time the shades are on, the bling is out and you’re invited to join the band with Pop Princess Anya, Rock Star Kevin, Punk Rocker Gary and Hip-Hop Bonzo in their brand new production.

It seems like Fun is the operative word in Funbox as the gang can barely hide the excitement and love they have of performing.

Funbox is the brain child of Gary Coupland, Anya Scott-Rodgers and Kevin Macleod who since starting out in March 2015 have gone from strength to strength, quickly becoming firm family favourites and Scotland’s premier children’s entertainm­ent company.

Funbox offers the same traditiona­l songs and silliness known and loved by many but with their own brand of manic humour with a modern twist.

“We’ve been described as fresh and edgier than before and the whole family is getting involved. We even had a few grown up Dinosaurs at our Glasgow SEC DVD recording of our other tour thats running just now – Dinosaur Safari – back in February!” laughs Gary, who was the Singing Kettle’s music man for 32 years before Funbox was born.

“I’m pretty sure there’ll be a lot of dads out there who will love grabbing their air guitars and unleashing their inner rock star!” added Kevin. “As the old saying goes, we are really looking forward to getting this show on the road.”

Join the gang as they travel around the world in 80 minutes creating musical mayhem wherever they go while finding their elusive keys. You’re all invited to join their band for singalong silliness – you might even get to help on stage.

Packed with favourites like ‘ParlezVous’, ’Buy Me A Banana’ and ‘The Music Man’, as well as brand new songs, Rocking All Over the World is the perfect excuse to let your hair down, sing, dance and be a music legend! Come as a rock star or a pop princess – big people too!

Rocking All Over The World comes to the Village Theatre this Saturday. For tickets call (01355) 261000.
