Lofthouse Brass has pushed its internet presence well into the 21st century with the launch of its brand new website.

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
