Testimonials:
"Joshua was absolutely amazing. I managed to get in for 3 of his performances. The children loved him, as did all the adults that saw him too. He performed to every age child in the school, from Nursery to Year 6 and it worked at every level.
He is truly inspirational. I would love to have him back for a return visit sometime in the future." Queensborough Primary School
