Haven Holiday Homes is the UKs leading holiday home provider and has been keen to find out more about the brass band world and the band in particular.

"Over the last few years we have become increasingly aware of the importance of the brass banding movement around the country, with so many of our customers and resort visitors telling us about their interest,"General Manager Neil Ankers told 4BR.

"With the EYMS Band on our doorstep so to speak near our wonderful Blue Dolphin Holiday Park in Yorkshire, we have begun to work more closely with them and are supporting their efforts this weekend. We are encouraging everyone on the resort to log into 4Barsrest to follow the action."

Close relationship

The Grand Shield contenders has enjoyed a close working partnership with the leading holiday resort company over the past year or so, and is also thrilled to be spearheading what they hope will become an innovative and beneficial link to the banding movement.

Haven is a company with a great family ethos — and I think they also see that with EYMS and banding as a wholeEYMS Band
