This year it includes the competitions for the low brass of euphonium, bass trombone and tuba as well as percussion.

Speaking about the tour Foden's spokesperson Andy Rolfe told 4BR: "We are grateful to the Jeju organising committee and our Vice President Jens Lindemann for their invitation to perform at an event with a worldwide profile.

This will be a once in a lifetime trip for our members as we look to promote the musical excellence of brass banding to a new audience."
