The
Co-operative Funeralcare Band is pleased
to announce that Michael Fowles has
agreed to be the band's Musical Director
for the remainder of 2009. This means
that the partnership which saw the band
win the Scottish Open Championship in
November last year in Perth is
renewed and band members are already
looking forward with keen anticipation
to a series of rehearsals
and performances under his leadership.
Speaking
about the appointment Michael said "Of
course, I'm absolutely delighted to be
working with this fine band again this
year. During the week before the
Scottish Open last November I very
quickly felt that a good working
relationship was developing and I was
particularly impressed with the speed
with which the band responded to my
ideas on St Magnus. This left me in no
doubt that I would be happy to work with
the band again and I'm thoroughly
looking forward to the rest of the year
ahead".
Commenting
on the band's behalf, band manager Robin
Basu said "It was obvious that there was
a real chemistry between Michael and the
band during the run-up to the Scottish
Open last year and this
most clearly manifested
itself during our winning performance.
We feel that Michael has the potential
to be "something really big" among brass
band conductors in the future and are
looking forward to the rest of 2009
under his direction". |
