Foden's add their own extra hyperlinks

Foden's have been inspired by Peter Graham's test-piece to add yet more hyperlinks to their brand new website

  Foden's will be looking to add yet more silverware to their website attractions this weekend

Ahead of their busy National Championship weekend in London, the defending champion Foden's has still had time to launch their brand new website.

They will of course be hoping to add yet more information about future major championship victories and achievements on the state of the art site that they hope will enhance their multi-media presence across the world.

The forefront

Speaking about the new investment, Band Manager Mark Wilkinson told 4BR: "It's another push we are making to keep Foden's at the forefront of the banding movement.

The site shop also amalgamates our 'Foden's Publishing' where people will be able to view a wide variety of music composed especially by our in-house team of John Barber, Jonathan Bates, Iain McKnight, Ian Raisbeck and Nick Birch alongside works by former cornet player Andrew Stevenson and prize-winners from our 2019 composition contest."

Open rehearsal

The band will hold its open rehearsal on the set-work, 'Hyperlink' tonight (Thursday 13th October) at Sandbach School (CW11 3NS) at 7.30pm sharp.

They will then travel to London on Friday (14th October) to give the pre-National Gala Concert at Regent Hall (W1C 2DJ) at 7.45pm, before giving a third rendition of the work in pursuit of the title at the Albert Hall on Saturday.
