About Foyle Foundation Youth Fest 

The newly titled Foyle Foundation Youth Fest is a brand new, non-competitive brass festival created by Brass Bands England. The event aims to celebrate success and participation in music, inspire and engage young people in an inclusive environment, and encourage personal and musical progression.

Support received from the Foyle Foundation means that Brass Bands England can support groups to attend with travel bursaries as well as provide resources and activities for participants on the day.
