Band Supplies to float your boat with floodstock at Butlins

Band Supplies have some amazing flood bargains to be had at Butlins — bone dry and worth every penny too...

Band Supplies
 

Despite the terrible weather that has rained down upon us in the last few months, the lads at Band Supplies have come up with a great way to ensure you still can get a fantastic deal from the effects of downpour.

With the Band Supplies shop in Leeds also suffering from flooding there were some items of stock that were partially damaged and affected.

Floodstock

So with Butlins being one of the great Festivals of the banding year, you can enjoy their version of 'Floodstock' — with huge savings to be made on items that went through the wringer so to speak.

All you have to do is pay a visit to the Band Supplies trade stand and find out more.

Plenty of peace and goodwill and not a single sign of a spaced out hippie either — just plenty of mind boggling deals on something that is still as good as new...Band Supplies
