Foden's Band has announced that it has taken the decision to cancel its annual solo competition this year.

Proud

Speaking about the decision, organiser Andy Rolfe told 4BR: "2021 would have been our 10th anniversary. The contest has become the largest and most popular of its kind and we were proud to be able to attract competitors from all over the world last year when we held it on-line.

Sadly, due to present circumstances it was impossible to hold the event at a time when the focus is rightly being focused on the lifting of restrictions and a return to live performances.

However, we can now start work on hosting a live event once again in 2022."
