Support us through iTunes

Now there's an additional way you can help support 4barsrest — and it won't cost you a penny.

Those of you with eagle eyes will have noticed a small iTunes banner in the top right-hand corner of pages on our site.

Simple

How does it work? It's simple really — if you intend to purchase something off iTunes — click the link in the top right-hand corner — this will take you to the iTunes store.

Once you've purchased what you want — 4barsrest will receive a small percentage of that purchase price back from Apple. You get your product immediately and you help support us in the process — at no cost to you.

The link takes you to the United Kingdom iTunes store at the moment — but we'll implement linking to your local iTunes store in the coming months.

Downloads

Many bands are now selling their CDs through the iTunes service — and why not — it's a great distribution channel allowing consumers to get their hands on the latest releases without having to wait.

Therefore, over the next few weeks we'll be be adding download links to CDs that are available through iTunes — giving you instant access not only CDs we have in stock to purchase, but to a number of classic CDs of yesteryear that, if you don't have the LPs or CDs for — should be part of your digital collection.

Become a supporter and help make our future secure.

4barsrest continues to be a proudly independent voice. There are no paywalls to overcome to be able to enjoy what we do to keep our journalism at the heart of the brass banding world. Support us with a one-off donation or subscribe from just £2.50 per month.
