A wonderful human interest story by Adam Sawatsky of CTV Vancouver Island

Audience Feedback

A tale about choices and how to respond to life changing events. Understated but profound advice on how to live a more meaningful life. Uplifting, funny and profound.

Take me seriously when I say everyone must see this. It's beautiful, and I only wish the best for Keith. It will help you work out your own tomatoes and banjos in life, and leave you with hope for the world.

Life affirming show from a very personable performer. Banjo player who has raised £345000 for charity! Well done.
