Climb That Tree is guaranteed to have both parents and children singing along in no time – this is music that the whole family can enjoy together. “Prepare to be carried away with the music…packed full of catchy, toe tapping numbers.” The Guardian. “David Gibb has a well-deserved cult following for his stage show which includes tales of dragons and driving chocolate cars. His lyrics are genuinely side-splitting, and tunes guaranteed to get stuck in your head for days.” Creative Tourist”
