Although brass band fans across the world know exactly where Foden's Band hails from, visitors to Sandbach and its surrounding areas are now also given a clear indication of its most famous musical ambassador.

In 2017 Sandbach Town Council were responsible for installing town and village signs at several key locations and now new signs are to be found on the roads around the area as well as Sandbach Train Station courtesy of the 'Friends of Sandbach Train Station'.

The volunteers are aiming to make the station a more welcoming and passenger-friendly place, as well as giving vistors an immediate reminder of the fame of their local brass band.
