Growing range

Birchfield Music has a range of music on its catalogue from light concert works through to major works and test pieces, solos and trios, so there is something suitable for bands of all levels.

Iain told 4BR: "The response to the Foden’s competition has been fantastic with an incredible number of entries and Birchfield Music is thrilled to be associated with the famous Sandbach band and to see the positive work that is going on with the Foden’s Youth Band.

We are really looking forward to the event on the 3rd November and hope the whole day will be a real success."
