Ireland Colliery in action
 

After a highly successful four year partnership, Ireland Colliery Chesterfield Band has announced that its financial sponsorship from Conceptunet Ltd has come to an end.

Invaluable

The invaluable financial support assisted the band with the cost of appearing at four successive National Finals as well as raising their artistic profile within their local community.

Appreciation

The partnership also enabled them to become financially stable and gave the organisation the opportunity to focus on musical priorities, something which Band Chairman, Gary Willis expressed his appreciation of when speaking to 4BR.

“We would like to offer our thanks for the support given by Conceptunet Ltd to the band over the last four years,” he said.

“This has been an absolutely fantastic partnership with Conceptunet Ltd becoming part of the structure of ICCB, and will remain so in our future endeavours.”
