Greg Page is an Elvis Fan
Hsien mentioned earlier that Greg Page is not only known as the (now former) yellow Wiggle, but that he has had success as a solo artist as well. The album mentioned earlier is performed by Greg Page and the TCB Band, which was Elvis Presley’s band. Apparently, Greg is the first Australian to perform and record with TCB.
I came across a fun interview with Greg at Elvis Australia from 2002. He shares a lot of his impressions of and adoration for Elvis Presley. There are also just some fun bits about The Wiggles and listening to Elvis on the road because Anthony Field had it constantly playing on road trips. It’s also mentioned that their only goal in the beginning was to release one children’s album. They’ve come a long way from that!
There was one sad bit in the interview. When asked about the longevity of The Wiggles, Greg replied:
We’ve always said that when the day comes that we don’t enjoy doing it anymore, then that’s the day that we hang up the skivvies!! We started this because of our love for music/education/children, so when we don’t have that passion anymore, that’s when we call it a day. (OR when our bodies just can’t physically keep up with the pace anymore - whichever comes first!!)
Thankfully, the passion lives on, and we haven’t lost The Wiggles, yet! Hopefully, Greg’s condition will still allow him to pursue his love and passion for music in his solo career.
