Let's make some music!

—Murray in "Music With Murray"

Murray is the original red Wiggle and the original lead guitarist in The Wiggles, known as the "king of guitars". He was the red Wiggle from 1991 until 2012, when he passed the role to Simon. He has since made cameos in some episodes of Ready, Steady, Wiggle! and still occasionally performs in reunion concerts as the red Wiggle.

Official Description[]

Murray is the guitarist, he is always tuning his guitar and often the person who starts the music. Murray says "I have so many different guitars and I used them all recording the music for The Wiggles Movie". He has the ability to pull a thousand and one faces, each one completely different. Murray wears a red skivvy, black pants and an enormous smile from ear to ear.

Biography[]

Murray loves playing guitar, and is also considered the best musician of The Wiggles. He exclusively played guitar during his tenure, along with guitar-adjacent instruments like the mandolin and ukulele. In some later videos, he played guitar in many songs rather than dancing.
