Outstanding

Director of Music, Prof Nicholas Childs told 4BR: "Logan is an outstanding asset to the percussion team and is steeped in the brass band tradition. She is also an excellent educator, so her signing adds yet another dimension to our outstanding percussion team."

Opportunity

In response Logan told 4BR: "This is a wonderful opportunity for me as a performer and one I couldn't miss out on, and I would like to take this opportunity of thanking my friends at Carlton Main Frickley where I have had a very enjoyable time, creating so many exciting performances."
