Foden's trio pass on expertise

A trio of stars from Foden's help over 80 North West players.

Fodens
 

Players from bands affiliated to the North West Area Brass Band Association were recently treated to a series of masterclasses led by the Foden’s star players, Mark Wilkinson), Leslie Howie and Glyn Williams.

Expertise

The trio took time out of their busy schedules, to give over 80 players the benefit of their wide ranging experience, providing valuable insights into techniques for rehearsing and performing.

Free of charge

Mark and Lesley appeared courtesy of Besson and Glyn courtesy of Sterling Musical Instruments whose support meant that the Association could provide the event free of charge to their delegates.
