Lofthouse
 

Lofthouse 2000 Band has launched a new interactive website, which will allow their supporters and members to fully interact with the band.

Growing presence

Featuring a database driven news publishing system as well as a Twitter feed and links to the band's Facebook site, it continues the band's growing presence on the internet.

Designed by Andrew Whitaker, the new site coincides with the band recording its first CD which it is hoped will be available soon.

Entitled 'Trailblaze', it was recorded recently in Leeds.

The band found it a tiring yet worthwhile experience and are now looking forward to the final resultMD, Andrew Whitaker

Worthwhile

Musical Director Andrew Whitaker told 4BR: "The band found it a tiring yet worthwhile experience and are now looking forward to the final result."

A full track list and samples of the tracks will appear shortly on the web site, which is available at: www.lofthousebrassband.org.uk
