As a pianist, Josh has worked with Glasgow Kelvin College as their accompanist, which has seen him provide musical direction for such productions as Made in Dagenham, American Idiot and The Addams Family.

An experienced tutor, Josh has also taught both piano and vocals at the likes of Melrose Music School.

About our Glasgow Choir…

Since forming in September 2012, our Glasgow choir has gone on to perform with a host of top acts and at some fantastic events and venues, including: with stars from BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, with Karen Dunbar for her BBC series I Belong To Glasgow, Mary Berry’s 2023 BBC One Christmas Special (aired across the UK and United States) and G4 on their UK tour. AND all at venues such as the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Kelvingrove Bandstand, to name just a few.
The choir has also performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, Hampden Park before the 2022 Scotland v Ukraine International football match, at Motherwell Football Club’s ‘Player of the Year’ Awards (twice!), the UCI Cycling World Championships Opening Ceremony and the likes of the Merchant City Festival.
During that time, our Glasgow choir has also performed at a host of festivals, public events, corporate and charity events, feature shows, weddings, parties and for live TV, including on BBC, ITV and Sky television.

“The highlight of my week! A wonderfully friendly, supportive group, led by our brilliant MD.  His enthusiasm, energy and sense of humour ensure that we not only sound our best but feel connected as a group. Every rehearsal feels like a safe space to grow, to push ourselves musically, and to simply enjoy coming together to create music. Love it!!”
