The Whaley Bridge Band has announced that they are to have projects for both their senior and learner bands funded by a new sponsorship deal from a local business.
Arts sponsorship
Cedar Finance Limited has sponsored numerous local arts projects over the years and the band was delighted when they were selected to benefit from financial backing using Cedar’s established arts sponsorship.
Major regrowth
The band itself has undergone a major re-growth period, from just 9 players in September 2008 to the present 26 senior members and 22 learners.
