The Wiggles will be awarded the highest honours at the 2022 APRA Music Awards, set to receive the prestigious Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Services to Australian Music award.
The OG Wiggles, Jeff Fatt, Greg Page, Anthony Field and Murray Cook, who babysat and raised our nation, will receive the honour at this year’s ceremony on May 3rd, held at the Melbourne Town Hall.
On the recognition, Field said: “On behalf of everyone who’s worked with The Wiggles over the past 31 years, I want to thank APRA for honouring us with the Ted Albert Award.
“We have always been driven by genuine love and passion for music, and this recognition means so much to us.”
Previous winners include Molly Meldrum, Midnight Oil, Slim Dusty and Paul Kelly. “Seeing our names alongside Aussie greats, including The Seekers, Joy McKean and the incredible Helen Reddy is so wonderful,” Field added.
“An award like this means so much to us because everything we do is based on songs,” Red Wiggle, Murray Cook said.
