About Ragamuffin Children

 
Anita and Brooke moved to Wellington with the intention of becoming pirates. But after realising it was quite fashionable at the time they decided that they would prefer to be SERIOUS musicians. So they pawned their wooden legs and eyepatches in for a fiddle and an electric piano.

After many years singing seashanty's and drinking whiskey, Anita has developed quite a lovely voice. Brookes many life threatening experiences at sea has given her an insight into lifes beautiful complexities which she now expresses through melodically written lyrics that flow like the tide...

In 2006 they resided in a pirate house overlooking Wellington Harbour where they were writing music, gardening, holding teaparties, and occasionally going to University.

But now Brooke lives beside the sea near Christchurch, and Anita lives with her singing dog Minstrel(who will be making a special appearance on their upcoming album WERECAT LULLABIES).

Their music is a delightful blend of new folk with soulful melodies, that might possibly charm your socks off...(or bore you to tears-let us know which one!)

Recently Brooke won a songwriting competition run through LOOP recordings and Microsoft.There was an interview with them on C4 about this on thursday 26TH OF APRIL on SPECIAL FEATURES.
This competition meant that they flew up to Wellington to rerecord their song MORE OF ME, which will be serviced to radio and will be available for a limited time as a free download on DIGIRAMA
