Today the band had a fantastic rehearsal with Michael Fowles, professional conductor of the Foden’s Band, the current National Champions and No 2 ranked band in the world. We were delighted to welcome him back to Northern Ireland for the first time in 2 years.

Two hours of intensive but enjoyable rehearsal were followed by some lovely refreshments provided by Ohhcrumz and our E flat bass player, Niamh.

Thanks also go to our resident conductor Brian Connolly, for preparing us so well for the rehearsal and to all our members for a great turn out.
