As a child, Josh's dad single-handedly rowed the Atlantic and then, soon after the Glastonbury gig, the drummer in his band Son Of A Way - which had just signed a record deal - died in a car crash.

Ö÷²¥´óÐã Music Introducing in Ledbury
Ìý
It's owned by the Ledbury Amateur Dramatic Society and built on the site of the old Market Theatre which used the be the only venue of its kind in Herefordshire for 18 years! That was between 1961 and 1979.
Ìý
The old theatre almost burnt down in the '80s by an accidental fire behind the building - but the damage was repaired by young offenders.
Ìý
Then, over 10 years later, when it was being demolished to make way for the theatre we see today, it caught fire AGAIN - which the dramatic society say could have been the poltergeist of the old building refusing to be upstaged and insisting on going out in style!
Ìý
Nowadays, it's run entirely by volunteers and they host a range of performances from plays to state-of-the-art cinema screenings and music events.
