On a mission of Love and Peas, Vegetable Plot uses the power of music and storytelling to help kids fall in love with veggies. They make earthy, soilful music that appeals to adults as much as kids. Their songs are filled with jokes and puns to show kids that language isn’t just something you learn to pass a test, it’s something you play and create with.
This 8-piece group features seasoned professional Adam Katz and Nada Leigh (The Voice 2016) on flawless R&B vocals. They'll be playing all your favourite current R&B, Pop, Soul and Hip-Hop mixed with freshly arranged hits from the late 90's and naughties.
Soulganic is a musical experience that will leave you feeling energised, free and reconnected with what life is all about.
