Set up by Musical Director and web designer Andrew Whitaker, it now boasts an e-commerce shop, Twitter/Facebook feeds and media galleries, and can be accessed on mobile and tablet devices as well desktop machines.

Interactivity

A band spokesperson told 4BR: "The new site enables us to have a lot more interactivity.

Andrew has done an amazing job over the past few months and has put a lot of work into the redesign. We have been running the site in the background under a hidden URL and there has been a lot of testing by members of the band before the site went live.

Feedback so far from our users is great and we are seeing a definite rise in website visits per dayLofthouse Brass
