Music is brain food and emotional sustenance for little ones. It's audible beauty. Want to give something special to your kids? Surround them with beauty and inspiration.


Out of the Blue is an utterly compelling memoir reaching back into Anthony's family and his childhood to starting up his first band, the Cockroaches, with his two brothers while still a teenager. Anthony's university studies in early-childhood education led him to form the extraordinary children's music outfit the Wiggles, with fellow students and a former bandmate. Over the years, the Wiggles have experienced incredible successes, unlooked-for failures and exciting reinventions.

Anthony speaks honestly of his struggles with chronic pain and depression, which have almost forced him out of his beloved role as the Blue Wiggle. His steadfast focus on shaping a safe and imaginative place for our children, his creativity, his ability to nurture the creativity of others in the band, and his thoughts on music, entrepreneurship and much more make fascinating reading.

In a rollicking account of more than 40 years on the road, he discusses the glory and challenges of his unique fame, and the occasions when he has come perilously close to personal and business disaster. Sports enthusiast, father of three and inspiration to millions, Anthony Field is truly a remarkable Australian.
