Fand Music Press has recently incorporated the Wessex Group. This was a creative group for composers to meet, discuss and promote their work, the idea of which was masterminded by John Barton Armstrong in the 1980s.

Wessex Group concerts were thus promoted both locally and on London’s South Bank and creative forums were held. As a result many first performances were given, and since that time Fand has been publishing and promoting Barton Armstrong’s work (with a view to publishing a complete edition) alongside the music of other Wessex composers.

It was always JBA’s intention that the Wessex Group, along with his own work – both music and words – should thrive and be self-sustaining. We are now continuing that ambition by joining Fand Music Press with the Wessex Group, officially: hence Fand IncWessex.
