Tall Poppies are a larger than life comedy music duo. Performing on stilts in fab flower flavoured costumes, their highly engaging comedy skits, fun music and flower hats swaying to the songs are sure to make a splash at your next event.
Jen Hawley (vocals, ukulele and percussion) and Terry Cole (vocals, mandolin and whistles) will delight you with their wonderful and diverse repertoire of wandering minstrel musical magic … and all connected to the funny bone!
“These performers understand the beauty of a big visual and the joy of improvisation …. the tall poppies act … with or without the instruments demonstrates in a nutshell just what stilt walkers can do … so bring em on!” Cathy Dean, Cathy’s Clowns.
You’ll hear a fun mix of up-beat Jazz and Latin , thigh-slapping Gypsy tunes , Aussie bush and some good ol’ country and all-time favourites …all with a touch of circus.

The Bayside Festival held on Sunday 28 March 2004 on the Sandringham Foreshore was a huge success and featured three performance stages, 120 community, cultural and market stalls, street theatre and a range of spectacular entertainment. About 12,000 people attended the event. Sensational roving performers the Tall Poppies were a great hit.
