Asked by Champs Hill Records founder, David Bowerman, to research the songs of Thuille, Joe faced a huge challenge as the music is not in print and bringing it all together on this disc required many long correspondences with German libraries.

The Times recently described him as "the cream of the new generation" and The Telegraph wrote that he "represents the crème de la crème of young British-based musical talent".
