Popcorn are a Bristol based recording and performing pair of musician mothers who one day, in the spirit of play, experimented singing 4 different songs about rain from 4 different continents over the top of each other. What they discovered surprised and thrilled them and spurred them on to collect and arrange songs from family and friends around the globe, taking the world of children's' song to a new exciting terrain.
Their hope is that these songs will sooth and add sparkle to the magical, intimate and challenging moments shared by parents and carers and their children.
Popcorn are Julia Turner, the leader of Bristol's Bring Your Own Baby Choir, and Bristol singer and songwriter, Rachael Dadd.
