Foden’s Online Solo Contest
As previously reported Foden's have been running an online International Music Festival over the past two weeks which has been a huge success! There has been a total of 33 videos uploaded to the band’s Facebook page during this time, covering a variety of styles, from players across the World at different stages of their musical development. These videos have been viewed nearly 200,000 times
Speaking about the event Mark Wilkinson commented, “We would like to thank everyone who has supported our festival which was initially organised to try and keep players motivated during these difficult times and give performers a platform to showcase their talents. The standard of the performances has been fantastic and we would like to thank everyone who has sent messages of encouragement to the performers. The only performances that were to be adjudicated were the 18 and over slow melody category. As expected, the standard was exceptionally high!”
