The band has a superb percussion team, and we are proud that our instruments will support their work in rehearsals and performance. We were introduced to the band through our euphonium artist Gary Curtin, and I would like to thank him for his role in helping to bring this partnership together."

In welcoming the link, Foden's percussionist Mark Landon added: "We are delighted to enter into a partnership with Adams Percussion who are widely regarded as the world's leading instrument provider.
