4BR Editor abandoned in self isolation...

Not quite as bad as it sounds, but 4BR Editor Iwan Fox will be temporarily marooned on Wantage Band's desert island later this evening with only 5 pieces of music to keep him company...

  4BR Editor Iwan Fox has been banished to a temporary desert island

The roles will be reversed for 4BR Editor Iwan Fox this evening (Sunday 10th May — 9.00pm), when he will come under questioning scrutiny from Sam Wyne and Jemma Johnstone and members of the Wantage Band organisation.

He has been invited to be the next interviewee on WSB Sounds — where he will reveal his five choices of music that mean a great deal to him, plus the luxury item he would take to a desert island if he was ever totally self isolated from the world!

Wantage has been proactive in keeping their members informed and entertained in the current Coronavirus pandemic with a number on initiatives to keep the players throughout the organisation in practice as well as keeping up a communal sense of well being.

It's great to join Wantage for the evening and I'm prepared to try and answer anything and everything they throw at meIwan Fox

Choices

Iwan revealed that he was looking forward to the experience. "It's great to join Wantage for the evening and I'm prepared to try and answer anything and everything they throw at me.

My choices are a bit eclectic but mean a great deal to me in very different ways, so I hope everyone enjoys them""
