SUCCESSFUL 21ST  PARTY WITH BBC INTERVIEW!
on Thursday 12th March 2009 at Bedhampton Social Hall
Seventy mums and dads plus the BBC South today reporter and cameraman came to the Bedhampton Social Hall on March 12 th to help Chris celebrate 21 years of singing with babies!
There was a lot of hustle and bustle  at the start , but when Chris, Gill and Mandi went  'Shhhhhhhh!' everyone  went quiet and between us all we created the most beautiful singing that you can imagine.
Chris Strode stood in the centre of the circle with Mumbaba leaders Gill Grech, and Mandi Randell singing beside her, Alison Stickland was at the side singing along too. All the children , babies and toddlers were entranced by the sound and behaved perfectly! They all joined in with the actions as if at a regular group! They were not at all phased by the BBC camera being there. Both the camerman and Rachel Healey, the reporter, were very impressed at how the children were so well behaved and how well they did the actions considering they were so very young. Everyone enjoyed the party food and the two huge iced sponge cakes Chris made for the day. 'They've eaten it all up!'  she said. Gill Grech's mum,  and dad and her gran were very proud to see Gill perform (and kindly did the washing up) (thank you ).
Chris says 'Thank you to all who came to the party and made it such a hugely successful occasion.  I'm really pleased that everyone loves Mumbaba. I can't believe that it's 21 years since I started. I'm delighted that so many babies are coming out with their parents to make music. I'm all set for my quarter century in 2014!

See us on the BBC by clicking 'Mumbaba celebrates 21 years' on the search menu page. View this until April 12th.
And Chris was interviewed by BBC Radio Solent March 12th on Drive Time with Steve.
