"Every once in a while (if we're lucky) someone will come through our life to remind us of what's important.  Chief Chebe and his colleagues reminded me why music is so essential to human life, and so beautiful: because only with music can we strip away all that is unnecessary and open our hearts to each other.  These extraordinary men opened all our hearts, and gave us much more than just music.

Dr Tony Ackerman, Head of Music

International School of Prague

I would like to thank you greatly for coming to Baldragon and giving pupils at the school the chance to learn about African drumming and play.  Your workshop was very interesting and helped us with co-ordination and listening skills a great deal.  So I think I am speaking on everybody's behalf when I say thanks again and good luck for anything you do in the future.

Pupil, Baldragon Academy

"Thank you very much for coming in to school last Thursday to work with our children with the drums and to share your love of Africa.  The children obviously enjoyed working with you, as could be seen from their enthusiastic response and from their faces in our photographs.  The children loved being able to show off their new skills at our end of day gatherings.  Thank you for helping to prepare children for that."

Cathleen Mair (Centenary Committee)

"A wonderful morning was spent by children and staff in the highly entertaining company of Chief Chebe.  We learned a huge amount from him about the rich culture and traditions of Africa.  Respect.  Many Thanks."
