Anthony Field Career
A Career with the Wiggles
Before forming the Wiggles, he and his brothers Paul and John formed the Cockroaches pop group in 1979. After the disbandment of the Cockroaches in the early 1990s, Field enrolled at University where he met Greg Page, and Jeff Fatt to form the Wiggles. In 1991, the Wiggles recorded their first CD and it sold 100,000 copies. For two years, he worked as a preschool teacher for two years before the success of the Wiggles and their extensive touring schedule which he strongly disliked, forced him to quit. After the production of their second album, the Wiggles adopted color-coded shirts to wear on stage.
And because of this decision, Field wore blue because Cook and Fatt already owned shirts colors Red and respectively. Page ended up wearing a yellow shirt and Field originally wore a green polo shirt but changed to blue to avoid clashing with Dorothy the Dinosaur. Therefore, each Wiggle developed a schtick based on their actual behaviors which involved caricatures and served the same purpose as the uniforms in differentiating their characters and making them memorable to young children. Thus he created and played the original Captain Feathersword; and in 1996, the role was taken over by Paul Paddick. In addition, Field also played Wags the Dog.
Career Continuation
Despite the success of the Wiggles, Field by the mid-1990s reported being suicidal and “frequently gripped by anxiety, sadness, and negativity”. Shortly after his marriage in mid-2004 and the birth of his first child, his serious medical issues worsened by their heavy tour schedule and this caused him to consider quitting or re-inventing the Wiggles, despite their success all over. With time his health improved after meeting chiropractor James Stoxen in 2004 in Chicago, to the point that he was able to continue with the Wiggles. Due to his health improving, he began to hire teams of chiropractors for himself, his fellow bandmates, and cast members in every city they performed. After Fatt, Cook, and Page retires, Field became the only original Wiggle member of the group in early 2013.
He remained with the group because he wanted to educate children as Wiggles manager Paul Field stated “to placate American, British and Canadian business partners”. His influences in the music industry include Elvis Presley, Lightning Hopkins, and the Rolling Stones. In her career, he plays several instruments including, bagpipes, didgeridoo, drums, guitar, percussion instruments, trumpet, the tin whistle, and violin. On January 26, 2010, he was made a Member of the Order of Australia “for service to the arts, particularly children’s entertainment, and to the community as a benefactor and supporter of a range of charities”.
