Foden's back at peak reds level thanks to Centre Stage

Foden's take another step on their rebuilding programme as they get to perform on stage at the Albert Hall at peak red level.

Foden's
  Foden's were back to full red level strength at the Royal Albert Hall under Bramwell Tovey.

Foden's Band has just chalked off another important milestone in its long term rebuilding programme following the devastating fire that engulfed its rehearsal premises earlier this year.

Famous colours

Many of its famous red jackets perished in the fire resulting in players having to strategically share jackets for various concert and contest performances.

Foden's is now back at full 'Reds Level' thanks to the work of Centre Stage Uniforms who have worked tirelessly to meet their requirements.

Martin's work with Centre Stage was fantastic — he knew what we needed and when, and delivered brilliantly. It was outstanding serviceFoden's Band Manager Mark Wilkinson

Service and quality

Speaking about the recent delivery Band Manager Mark Wilkinson told 4BR: "The service and quality from Centre Stage has been first class and we were delighted that for the first time since April all our members were able to wear the same red famous uniforms — and in time to take to the Royal Albert Hall stage.

Martin's work with Centre Stage was fantastic — he knew what we needed and when, and delivered brilliantly. It was outstanding service."
