Trusted by event organisers
Hear from people who've booked Joe for their occasions.
“Having live handpan during class was a completely different experience. My students were more present, more relaxed, and the feedback was incredible. We've made it a regular thing.”
“We book Joe regularly for our care home residents. The transformation in the room when he plays is remarkable — even residents who rarely engage become present and peaceful.”
“Joe ran a session for our team and it was something completely different. Professional, adaptable, and genuinely passionate about what he does.”
“We had Joe at our weekend retreat in the Brecon Beacons. The sound bath session on the Saturday evening was the moment everyone talked about afterwards. Already rebooked for next year.”

FAQ
Common questions about booking
For major events and retreats, 3-6 months is ideal to secure your preferred date. Care homes, yoga classes, and corporate bookings can often be arranged with 4-6 weeks notice. Last-minute availability sometimes exists - get in touch to check.
Pricing varies by event type, duration, and location. Most bookings start from £500 per session, with transparent travel costs outside the local area. Care homes and yoga studios can also be booked as repeat programmes. Share your date, location, and goals and Joe will send a clear quote.
Yes. Joe is based in Pembrokeshire, Wales and regularly travels across Wales + England. Wider UK travel is available by arrangement, with transparent travel pricing.
Joe brings everything - handpans and amplification if needed for larger venues. All you need to provide is a chair and ideally a quiet space to perform. For outdoor events, a sheltered area is preferred (the handpan is sensitive to rain and wind).
Both. Indoor performances work beautifully in any space. Outdoor performances are possible with shelter from direct rain and strong wind - a gazebo, marquee, or covered area works perfectly. The handpan's steel construction requires protection from the elements.
Completely flexible. Standard sets are 1-2 hours, but this adapts to your needs. Yoga classes typically run 45-75 minutes. Care home sessions are usually 45-60 minutes. Corporate bookings and retreats can be multi-hour or full-day.
