Bradley Park Golf Club Huddersfield In my capacity as the captain of Bradley Park Golf Club, Huddersfield I booked Paul with fellow musician Ian to play in the evening in the clubhouse as part of my Captain’s Day, they were professional in every respect during their performances and throughout the evening. They were nicely turned out, setup without fuss, played an excellent mix of music with some very nice guitar work. They and their music went down very well with all the club members who attended that evening, Yours sincerely Nicholas C.W. Howe
