Friday Quiz: Sponsored by Your Logo Here

After a great Cheltenham National Finals launch we have two great CDs to give away if you can identify the star in the pic...

After a quite brilliant launch in Cheltenham on the weekend, Your Logo Here has set up a crafty little brain teaser for this Friday’s quiz in partnership with 4BR.

Talking to 4BR, Lloyd Shipp and Gavin Jacobs took the opportunity to thank everyone who came along to say hello and find out more about the superb range of products the company has to offer.

Fantastic response

Gavin said: "We couldn’t have imagined in our wildest dreams the fantastic response received for our new £99 stage jacket range."

Lloyd also added that Cheltenham proved to be the ideal place to meet fellow bandsmen face to face.

"It provided a great opportunity to exchange thoughts on their needs and how we could help them. Speaking directly to people was so helpful and the contacts we made will all be followed up immediately."

He added: “We are delighted to discover that people thought our product range was both comprehensive and competitive to fully support their needs.

Even the request for hot water bottle covers did take us a little by surprise so keep an eye out for this addition to our accessory range!"

So if you know who the famous flugel player is (and they will be playing at the Royal Albert Hall, but not necessarily in these bands colours) then just let 4BR know4BR

So if you know who the famous flugel player is (and they will be playing at the Royal Albert Hall, but not necessarily in these bands colours) then just let 4BR know on:

The winner will be revealed this evening — so get your entries in now to get your hands on the brilliant Lito Fontana’s new release and the superb new recording from Robbert Vos.
