Ed Ham, Producer has written these words to describe how he feels about Josie. “Although I’ve known of Josie for a number of years. It was not until recently I finally had the chance to meet her, to say it was simply a pleasure would be an understatement. I have since seen her perform live and in studio. Her dedication to her fans and to her work is enviable. It’s easy to see why she has such a loyal following”.
