Several years later, Wyatt went onto sing several more Thomas songs during the classic era however different children were used for each series.
In 1988, as a teenager, Wyatt wrote and provided the vocals to the theme song to the BBC children's animated series Barney with Frechter also writing the words and composing the music and some members of the Minipops doing additional vocals.
