North West Regional Champions, Foden's have just returned from a weekend in France where they performed at the prestigious Limoux Festival, which attracted over 10,000 spectators to various events and shows over its duration.

Headline act

Foden's were the headline act, performing on Saturday night to a sell out audience, and conducted by MD Mike Fowles featured a varied programme including solos from Mark Wilkinson, Glyn Williams and Mark Landon – resulting in three standing ovations during the programme.
