Foden’s to Accompany Trumpet Star Mike Lovatt

Foden’s are pleased to announce that they will accompany Mike Lovatt on his first solo CD at the end of June.

The CD will also feature a rhythm section comprising of Graham Harvey piano, Jeremy Brown Bass and Matt Skelton drums as well as a number of special guests! The material will include a number of new compositions and arrangements by Colin Skinner.
