We are the students from Berrycoombe School. We are using one of our mates email adresses as we don't know our own! Anyway, we'd just like to say thankyou for teaching us today, we think you are a brilliant drummer. I haven't heard of anyone famous that play as good as you do! We were all gobsmacked today when you played like you did. Everyone enjoyed it and had a great time. We wish you could come again sometime. Anyway, have a safe journey home to Uganda. Maybe you could come and visit us again some day and play for us again and do us another workshop. Your drumming is absolutely brill.
