Glyn Williams will be taking his trade stand along to the forthcoming Foden’s Solo, Duet & Quartet Contest this Saturday the 3rd November.

Bumper entry

And there will be plenty of a bumper entry of competitors to get their hands on too with a huge display of second hand instruments, alongside the brand new Sterling range which undoubtedly had a hand in helping Foden’s achieve their recent historic double!

A selection of accessories will also be available together with sheet music from British Composer Award winner Andy Scott, including his ‘Let There Be Peace’, which was written for last year’s Foden’s Solo Contest Open Class winner Aaron Rivkin.

Available

Glyn will be available throughout the day to chat with all the competitors, arrange instrument consultations and to support the first public performance of the recently formed Foden’s Youth Band, who will be giving a short concert with Guest Soloist (and former Foden’s tuba player) Les Neish at the conclusion of the contest.
