OUT OF THE DOOR OF THE ARK CD

The Ark is delighted to be re-launching Out of the Door of The Ark, an album of songs for children aged 3-8 written by Nico Brown and performed by him, Martin Brunsden and Kate Powell. Many of these songs were written during Nico’s five years as musician in residence at The Ark back when we first opened. These songs and stories come from many years of playing with children and families, who like music as an activity they can join in with, as well as a performance.

Hear the sounds of the double bass, singing saw, harp, accordion, thumb pianos, mandolin, concertina, swanee whistle, guitar and other strange instruments you might have never even seen before. Go on a Jungle Journey where you get to help make all the sounds of this trip through wild Africa, learn the very important Five Pirate Rules of the special sea shanty Aye Aye Captain, hear how loud daddy animals can be and how quiet baby animals can be and laugh about how confusing words in different languages can be in a song about a French friend.

Join in with the songs by downloading the lyrics and suggested actions to do while you listen.
