Fresh from their recent Tameside Whit Friday success, Foden's Band will link up with its sibling Youth Band to perform 'A Night of Musical Harmony' at the Victoria Hall, Hanley on Friday 20th June.

The event led by Entrust Music Service Staffordshire will see the ensembles and combined choirs each perform individual items before joining forces for a massed finale.

Fantastic opportunity

Paul Hughes of Entrust Music Services told 4BR: "This concert represents a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the vibrant musical landscape within Staffordshire, bringing together world-class brass banding with the passionate voices of our local community choirs for an unforgettable collaborative performance."

Voices

The voices consist of Alsager Community Choir, Dougie Mac Choir, Endon Community Choir, Fulford Community Choir, Ovation — Staffordshire County Council Workplace Choir and Stafford Military Wives Choir Programme.

They will be led by Dan Hollingshurst, a vocal coach and teacher working for Entrust Music Service Staffordshire and City Music Service (Stoke-on-Trent).

Foden's Band are grateful to Joseph Lymer & Son and Horne Brothers, Independent Family Funeral Directors for sponsoring the event.
