The two female founders of Isle of Wight band, Wet Leg, Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers are stars of a new animated series on children’s TV channel, CBeebies.
Yukee, an animated series set in Northern Ireland, is a music-first preschool series created by musicians for the musicians of the future.
The Slime Sisters
The main character is Yukee, a young girl of Northern Ireland and Chinese heritage, and in every episode she takes her own beloved red ukulele into a magical garden filled with instrument playing animal friends.
Rhian and Hester appear in episode 26 as The Slime Sisters, two music loving snails who take a wrong turn and end up in the garden. Sonny the fox offers to take them where they need to go and as a thank you, they give a special concert.
