Just before their recent tour of Japan began, Anuna paid a visit to an elementary school located less than 40km for the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in Iwaki city.
This is a video of that experience In December 2011.

In December It’s Always Christmas With You wiggled into cinemas across Ireland on just in time for Christmas.
Children will be enthralled by the beautiful music and fun but will also learn that Christmas is celebrated in so many different ways around the world as they join The Wiggles on a huge adventure that takes them from Australia to New York, Ireland and finally to the North Pole! They are joined by a host of friends along the way including Joey Fatone from N Sync and the angelic voices of Anúna in this exciting brand new one-hour show.
The Wiggles and Anúna sing a number of songs together amongst the primal beauty of Glendalough and in the beautiful Saint Bartholomews Church in Dublin. Songs include “The Little Drummer Boy”, “Ding Dong Merrily on High”, “We Three Kings” and “The Cherry Tree Carol”, all Christmas classics. The pairing of Anúna and The Wiggles has been met with great enthusiasm from both parties, as confirmed by blue Wiggle, Anthony Field, “Anúna paint beautiful musical pictures…I know that children around the world will be enriched by hearing Anúna’s voices.”
Anúna’s founder, Michael McGlynn, adds, “The first time I saw The Wiggles was with my children. What jumped out at me was the importance that they place on music and education in their work, and when the opportunity to combine our two, very different, forces arose I jumped at the chance. At Anúna’s core is the desire to bring choral music to the widest audience that we can, and I can’t think of a better collaboration bearing this in mind. Love for high-quality music should begin at the youngest possible age, and I don’t believe that any children’s entertainers do this more successfully than The Wiggles.”
There are some beautiful sequences of St Bartholomew’s as The Wiggles & Anúna perform “Ding Dong Merrily on High” at:
