"Joshua comes highly recommended. We arranged for him to play for us at my father's 60th birthday - not a dry eye in the room." - Gayle Roach
"Joshua won a competition in South Africa and part of the prize was a trip to Scotland for tuition. We sidetracked him and made sure he had a pie and a pint."- The Eagle Piper
