Meet the Vegetable Plot Cast
Aspara Gus - Guitar and Vocals
Gus is our fearless (and sometimes clueless) leader. His deep, earthy voice and rotten puns will make you groan with delight. Gus writes all the songs and remembers most of the words. He is also known as musician/comedian Luke Escombe.
Sir Paul McCarrotney - Bass and Vocals
Of course you all know Sir Paul as the world-famous singer of 60’s band The Beatroots. Hear him sing his hit song “Twist and Sprout” and serve up his funky bass grooves with us. As well as driving the beat, Sir Paul also drives our big green tour bus. He sometimes answers to the name Nick Hoorweg.
Ru Barb - Vocals and Percussion
Ru Barb is undoubtedly the sweetest vegetable in this bunch. She loves nothing more than to sing and dance with a room full of little beansprouts. As well as delighting our ear buds, Ru also delights our tastebuds with her wonderful cooking. We sometimes call her Paige Hoorweg.
What's On Sydney
"What really kept me engaged was the sheer level of lyrical intellect and complexity, something that promises to keep the parents entertained while the kids are having a blast. Excellent morals delivered in a wonderful way by passionate people."
Major Minor Music Australia
"There are few joys in this world coupled with the sheer delight of hearing a Vegetable Plot song for the first time. Or the second, third, fourth or fifth time! Their music is nothing short of an absolute marvel and the pinnacle of what it means to write respectful music for children."
