Foden’s Band are the current ‘Double National Champions of Great Britain’ as well as being ranked as one of the leading brass bands in the World.

Foden’s were formed in 1902 by Edwin Foden, originally named The Foden’s Motorworks Band. From these humble beginnings few would have thought they would go on to win numerous prizes and competitions. As well as being successful on the contest front the band have won numerous awards for CD releases, regularly appear on BBC TV and Radio and perform at all the countries leading concert halls.

We’re delighted to welcome them to Newbury for an afternoon of popular brass band music, including Dvořák’s Carnival Overture and The Rumble in the Jungle, a set of music celebrating the 50th anniversary of this iconic boxing match.
