On the 15th July Foden's travelled to the Isle of Man upon the invitation of Manx Concert Brass. Foden's have forged a strong friendship with the band over the past 15 years which has seen Principal members of Foden's appear as guest soloists as well as visits from the entire Foden's Band, the last being in 2017. Prior to Foden's arrival, Michael Fowles had been working with the Manx Youth Band as well as Manx Concert Brass who will be appearing at the National Finals in Cheltenham courtesy of qualification from the North West Area Contest in March. This year's concert commenced with massed items involving the three bands before Foden's rounded off the 1st half and entire second half to a capacity Villa Marina audience, concluding with a standing ovation!!
Our thanks to Manx Concert Brass for their invitation and hospitality.
