If Fabio and boys come home with the World Cup, you could be coming home with a free instrument too.

A brilliant World Cup deal from Band Supplies is on offer for all football supporting brass band players out there.

Fabio and the lads

If Fabio and the lads can make it past Algeria, Slovakia and the rest of the giants of the game and win the gold trophy in South Africa, one lucky person could well be in line for a World Cup win of a lifetime too!

if Stevie Gerrard or Wayne Rooney pops one in the back of the onion bag in the 91st minute to win the World Cup, then one lucky winner will receive their money back on the instrument they have purchasedBand Supplies

England winner

Buy any brand new instrument from Band Supplies during the 2010 tournament to enter the draw, and if Stevie Gerrard or Wayne Rooney pops one in the back of the onion bag in the 91st minute to win the World Cup, then one lucky winner will receive their money back on the instrument they have purchased.

Buy a new instrument

You can enter online when buying your instrument either in England or Scotland — the deal is that good!

Then all you have to do is hope at least one Englishman can kick the Jabulani football in the right direction just for you...
