  Fodens announce formal partnership link with The Love Music Trust

Foden's Band has announced that they have entered into a formal partnership with The Love Music Trust, the lead organisation and fund holder for the music education hub in Cheshire East.

Close working

Speaking about the partnership, John Barber, Director of the Love Music Trust told 4BR: "Since its formation in 2012 we have worked closely with Foden's in a number of our educational and performance initiatives.

These range from delivering coaching and workshops to a number of our Youth Band partners, creating opportunities for young players from across the borough to sit in Foden's rehearsals, to the sharing of musical resources and the tutoring of and directing the highly successful Foden's Youth Band, who themselves have been partners of the Trust since 2012."

Forward thinking

He added: "For many years Foden's has had an excellent youth policy, engaging and inspiring the next generation with their forward thinking and progressive outlook.

It's a hugely positive step to now recognise this work formally through this partnership."

The Love Music Trust supports over 120 schools across Cheshire East via the delivery and provision of grants for First Access Programmes and Continuation opportunities that engages over 1000 young musicians weekly in Cheshire East.

Delighted

Foden's Band Manager Mark Wilkinson responded by telling 4BR: "We have recognised and supported the excellent work carried out by the Love Music Trust for a number of years.

Their engagement with schools and young people across the borough is significant and we are delighted to take a role in further developing this work."
