Following our return from Easter Holidays we enjoyed a weekend in Southern Ireland with concerts in Dublin and Kilkenny. Both concerts featured a reprise of our award-winning programme from Brass in Concert 'Prince Ali - From Rags to Riches' as well as the British Open Test Piece 'Sand and Stars.' The hospitality shown and audience reaction was fantastic!!! Last weekend we were back in the heart of our hometown to entertain the huge crowds at Sandbach's annual Transport Festival as well as leading the parade. A baking hot afternoon performing arrangements from The Beatles, Elton John, Bryan Adams, The Carpenters and The Killers - nothing like variety!!!!
We are looking forward to travelling to Southern Ireland on the 13/14 April for a brace of concerts in Kilkenny and Dublin! All proceeds from the concerts will go to support the fantastic work of the Crumlin Childrens' Hospital and you can purchase tickets for both concerts at www.gr8events.ie
On the 16 th June Foden's will open the brand new Elgar International Festival of Brass at the Routh Hall in Bromsgrove with a stellar programme featuring music by the band's President Paul Mealor, a chance to hear Thierry Deleruyelle's magnificent 'Sand and Stars' - which was the set work when the band became the 'British Open Champions' in September 2023, as well as a rarely heard 'Concerto for Tenor Horn and Brass Band' by Derek Bourgeois! The festival also features The Cory Band and Brighouse and Rastrick, 3 world class bands for the price of 1! Further info via eifob.org.uk
