5 out of 5

Josh helped us celebrate at a BIG birthday party with friends and family aged from 16 to 60 years. We’ve had lots of comments about how Josh contributed to making it such a memorable party. He has a really great voice and is talented in playing a wide and varied range of songs. He read the crowd, was flexible in song choices which added to the fun and dancing, creating a very special atmosphere. Thanks again Josh. Sian and Andy Price

We recently hosted a family party, which felt more like a mini festival, and Josh's music and performance truly made the event unforgettable. His energy is contagious, and he really knows how to engage with the crowd, making everyone feel part of the experience. What impressed us most was his willingness to take requests, no matter how weird or wonderful they were, and he nailed every one of them! If you're looking for someone to elevate your event with fantastic music and a vibrant atmosphere, Josh is the one to book! Highly recommended!
