“ My dad's best suggestion was probably to start drum lessons ! The past 4 years have been awesome and cheers for all the help from the start, thoroughly enjoyed every lesson.  Frank “


“ For the last ten years or more, Joseph has been taking drum lessons from the wonderful Noel Watson. Tonight has been Joe's last lesson with Noel, and it kinda feels like the end of an era .   Noel has been a phenomenal teacher and mentor for Joe - overflowing with patience, kindness and understanding. He took Joe under his wing and produced the brilliant drummer we all know and love today. Thank you Noel - you did a great job!  - Gareth “
