Heralded by the thrills of excited pre-schoolers up and down the east coast and from the nation's capital, Justine Clarke will sing and dance her way into children's gleeful hearts once more, stepping out on her Little Day Out Tour 2011.
Through near-hour-long shows, Justine Clarke and her three-piece band bring to life the colourful, fun and engaging songs from her three top-selling, ARIA nominated CDs and accompanying DVDs - I Like To Sing, Songs To Make You Smile and of course the chart-topping Great Big World.
In 2010, Justine's Great Big World Tour was a huge hit with children and parents alike, delighting audiences across an incredible 52 shows.
"I try to make the show as intimate as possible so it has a relaxed and playful feeling like a family get together and sing-a-long", Justine says. "It helps having excellent musicians singing and playing live drums, keys and double bass. It's a happy sight and a beautiful sound. We continue to party on in the foyer after - it's such a joyful experience meeting the kids after the show."
The Little Day Out Tour is a family event, a chance for children and parents to join in and share the magic and delight Justine brings to her live shows.
