Joshua Morris (Pride of Ballinran)

<p>Joshua's story starts at a very early age and a family influence that left a lasting impression on him. Joshua was connected with bands from he was one year old and wouldn't pose for a photo without a small version of a lambed drum!</p><p>His passion for marching bands has only intensified as he has got older and he has played with some of the best bands in the scene. He talks with integrity about the experience being a member of a band and the benefits that has brought to his life and how it has actually helped him accomplish some life long goals.</p><p>I hope you enjoy the conversation with Joshua and that it gives you an insight into one band members marching band obsession.</p><p>The tune at the end of the episode is from the new Pride of Ballinran CD "Here's to the Heroes" that was recorded to mark their 40th anniversary. Its well worth getting your hands on and if you contact the band via their facebook page I am sure they will be able to help you get your hands on a copy.</p><p>The podcast continues to get a lot of listens and I want to thank you all for listening in and the Made to Parade book continues to sell reasonably well on Amazon. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast and get your copy of the book if you haven't done so already. The book is available for £10 on paperback and £7.99 for the Kindle version.</p><p>We have one more full episode to come this season and that will be with Stu Boyd and then we have our second bonus episode featuring Billy Hutchinson talking about his book " My Life in Loyalism" alongside Gareth Mulvenna, you won't want to miss that.</p><p>Thank you to our patrons who support the work financially, we really appreciate you and without you we couldn't keep doing what we do.</p><p>Til next time, take it easy.</p><p>Glenn</p><p> </p>
