“Children’s musical trio the Ticklish Allsorts have a strong fan base in our house. Young and old love their bouncy tunes in different styles, and there’s something for everyone in the lyrics. They’re also good fun live. They win over the kids without winding them up, and they’re not afraid to leave the stage for some audience participation”
