"We have been so lucky to have appointed Adam Shilton as Musical Director who has helped our development above and beyond, and in addition has introduced Ian Raisbeck as Associate Conductor.

"Adam and Ian, who are both recent Fodens' players bring with them a wealth of experience at the highest level making a formidable team and we have risen like a phoenix from the ashes to a full band again.
