What People Say About Ish . . .

 

MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE FOR US ADULTS

Thank you so much for the lovely CD you gave us at the Watcom Shell gas station on Sunday, May 15th.  Your CD was much more enjoyable for us adults than other kids CDs we have. The kids all love it and fell asleep listening to it on the rest of our trip home.

PERFORMANCE WAS WARM AND SENSITIVE, COMICAL AND LYRICAL AND HAD AN EXCELLENT RAPPORT   
    
“Ish’s Performance was warm and sensitive, comical and lyrical.  He had an excellent rapport with the children, relating to them with respect and genuine concern.  In this way I felt Ish was similar to Robert Munsch.  I felt both adult and child audience came away with more than just an hour of entertainment.  You came away feeling good about yourself and the world!”

AN EDUCATIONAL AND FUN STYLE PERFORMANCE   
                                                                                          
“Ish’s concerts combine music, comedy and storytelling in an educational and fun style.  A great performance, we hope to see Ish return to Thunder Bay soon.”

BEND YOUR KNEES

Ish & Friends

This up-tempo Swing / Grass song focuses on taking good care of your back, whether at work or play.

It also highlights the thought that even Superman has learned to bend his knees when he's picking up things and take good care of his back.

WHAT A MARVELOUS & ENTERTAINING SHOW     
      
Hi Ish, I just wanted to drop a line to you and Marion to thank-you for the performance that you did for the folks at Tweedsmuir House while you were in Burns Lake. The tenants have been talking about the performance still and, how much they enjoyed it.

WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH THE EXPERIENCE 

We were very pleased with the experience of working with Ish on his CD, Never Say Never.  The kids were very proud of their accomplishments.  We and the Children learned a lot through the experience and would be happy to do another CD with him :)  I personally loved the CD; the songs were great and sounded fantastic.

Awesome so exciting... We celebrate with you! My son, Colorado, was one of the singers from the Kid's Choir here in Kamloops and we are so grateful for the opportunity he had to be a part of this project. Thanks for sharing the wonderful news, that “Never Say Never” was Nominated by the Western Canadian Music Awards for Children’s Album of the Year, 2012.
