Our sponsors

The band is most grateful for generous sponsorship from a range of individuals and organisations. In particular, this sponsorship allows the band to buy instruments to enable a growing number of local folk to play in our Beginner Band, Learner Band and Main Band.  For young people especially, this often leads to a lifetime of music making.
