Royal Buckley takes to the air

Royal Buckley help in launch of new Airbus investment.

Buckley
 

Royal Buckley Town Band recently played their part in the launch of one of the most important industrial investment programmes in the UK, when they were invited to perform at the opening of the new multi million pound Airbus factory in Broughton in North Wales.

A350 aircraft

The factory will produce the wings for the massive A350 aircraft, and such was the importance of the event that the band was listened to by an audience that included Prime Minister David Cameron.

Having the world’s media on hand it gave us a huge boost in our profile and showed how important a part we play in the local communityScott Lloyd

World's media

A spokesperson told 4BR: “It was a proud day to play in front of some of the country’s leading dignitaries and I would like to thank our Vice Chairman Jon Moss for his efforts in ensuring we played an important role in such a high profile event.”

Boost

Led by their resident conductor Scott Lloyd, the band played whilst the factory and exhibition were being visited. Scott added: "Having the world’s media on hand it gave us a huge boost in our profile and showed how important a part we play in the local community."
