Centre Stage Percussion has announced the appointment of the highly respected percussionist Neil Edwards as their new Product Manager.

Superb performer

CSP MD Martin Gernon told 4BR: "As well as being a superb performer with Black Dyke, Neil's background, professionalism, technical knowledge and insight makes him the ideal person to further expand our increasingly popular percussion business arm.

As well as serving an ever increasing customer base and with fantastic endorsees including Cory, Black Dyke and the International Staff Band of the Salvation Army, we are now also making significant inroads into the professional musical world — an area that Neil also knows well."

Professional links

Centre Stage Percussion has recently linked up with the BBC Philharmonic, Royal Northern Symphonia, Royal Ballet Symphonia and Ulster Orchestra and was recently successful in winning a Ministry of Defence Tender to supply percussion instruments for the next four years.

The product range and quality is excellent and the company's commitment to customer service and going the extra mile is already established in the marketplaceNeil Gernon

Excellent

Neil told 4BR: "Centre Stage Percussion is a very refreshing and innovative company. The product range and quality is excellent and the company's commitment to customer service and going the extra mile is already established in the marketplace.

The brand is now well established and I look forward to helping develop this further in UK and export markets."
