4BR photographer Ian Clowes will be out and about with Leyland at this year's Whit Marches.

Whit Friday
 

4BR photographer Ian Clowes has accepted an invitation to capture Leyland Band's Whit Marches campaign on June 5th.

Last year Ian followed Fodens on their winning trek and this year he will pack his gear and follow Leyland as they hope to bag a clutch of titles.

I was actually thinking of playing again this year when the invite came to join Leyland — an offer too good to refuse!Ian Clowes

Offer

Ian told 4BR: "My first year at the Whit Marches with a camera and not a euphonium I had the priviledge of accompanying Fodens on their successful Thameside outing. I was actually thinking of playing again this year when the invite came to join Leyland — an offer too good to refuse!"

Ian will no doubt be snapping away at any other bands while Leyland wait to march in to play — so lots of smiles please.
