Anthony Field

**Anthony Donald Joseph Field** (born May 8, 1963) is the blue Wiggle. He plays many musical instruments including the drums, guitar and tin whistle. In the very early days of The Wiggles, Anthony was known as the green Wiggle, but changed because green as a colour was more associated with Dorothy. He is the fourth tallest Wiggle (he is slightly shorter than Lachlan Gillespie and Sam Moran, and shorter than Murray Cook) He is the senior member of the group, and the only original member to remain since 1991 he is the founder of The Wiggles his character eats and eats and eats and eats and eats and eats and eats and eats and eats and eats. Out of all The Wiggles, he's the only one who's stayed for all 30 years they've been around the new generation wiggles sometimes refer to Anthony as a 'wise senior Wiggle' and he often calls them 'young' in return. He still occasionally reunites and performs with Greg Wiggle, Murray Wiggle and Jeff Wiggle in the reunion concerts

**Character Information**

In 1992, when the Wiggles first got their skivvies, Anthony was the Green Wiggle, although his shirt in Here Comes a Song is either light blue or aqua. When He wore a short sleeved shirt, He wore green possibly due to his Irish heritage. From 1996 onward, he became blue because Dorothy the Dinosaur was already green.

He plays the guitar a lot now, instead of dancing but there are still songs like Do the Propeller!, Hot Potato and Can You (Point Your Fingers And Do The Twist?) where he doesn't play the guitar nor any other instruments.

In the original generation, Anthony was sort of a tertiary singer. But in the current generation due to his limited vocal range, he only provides backing vocals. He does sing a verse or two in songs like I've Got My Glasses On! and Do the Skeleton Scat! but other than that, he never sings lead. He does however, do spoken lines in some songs.

Anthony is well known for being the Wiggle who's always hungry, and is also known for playing multiple instruments in the band such as the drums, trumpet, guitar, bagpipes, violin, tin whistle, kazoo and the banjo. The drums were Anthony's main instrument for a while but once the new generation came around, he became the main guitarist, but still plays the drums on occasion.
