Popularly known for thanking God they are not “a Nigerians”!, the duo that gave the world it’s first and second Pidgen Musicals, ‘Coz Ov Moni 1 & 2’ will add sound to our favourite stories. Blinky Bill will throw in some healing vibrations and we will add a copy of one of our latest books as part of your entry ticket:
