In the middle of London, Tabby McTat the singing cat and his busker friend Fred are purrrfectly happy, busking for the passing crowds. Then Tabby meets a friendly cat called Sock, a thief makes off with Fred's hard-earned money, and fate takes an unexpected turn. Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's heartfelt story is full of warm, catchy songs, with Jodie Whittaker narrating, Sope Dirisu as Tabby, Rob Brydon as Fred and Susan Wokoma as Sock. It's a gentle, tuneful tale about loyalty and a lovely excuse to get everyone away from the tin of Roses for twenty-five minutes.
