Cutt delight

4BR talks to the man who directed Fodens to their record equalling success at Blackpool to find out just how he did it — again...

Cutt
 

4BR has talked exclusively to Garry Cutt after the man from Marple directed Fodens to their 16th Area title, equalling the great four in a row record of the famous CWS (Manchester) Band in the process.

Garry tells us about his approach to the test piece 'Salute to Youth', his thoughts on the result and how he was even more happy to get 50p out of his star soprano player's pocket!
