As well as writing and playing the music for Cephalodidge, Joe makes his own didgeridoos and teaches people how to play. He has been playing didgeridoo for 19 years and is an experienced and outstanding teacher who has taught all ages of people around the UK. Joe's passion for the didgeridoo is led by his knowledge of how beneficial and healing an instrument the didgeridoo is. The didgeridoo is one of the planet's most ancient instruments and has the ability to change people's lives.
Joe can be booked to give group workshops and sessions with the didgeridoo. He often visits schools to introduce children to Aboriginal culture and has delivered workshops at festivals and events all around the UK.
