Yorkshire champion Black Dyke recently unveiled their brand new stand banners produced by Centre Stage Uniforms at a sold out concert at Ripon Cathedral last weekend.

Most famous

As part of an ongoing partnership agreement, Black Dyke also uses Centre Stage percussion equipment, with Centre Stage Group MD Martin Gernon commenting: "We are delighted to have such a strong working relationship with the finest and most famous band in the world.

The percussion team at Black Dyke is amongst the best, if not the best, in the country and we are delighted with the strong, positive feedback we get from them about our products."

Quality

That was borne out by Adie Smith, Principal Percussionist with Black Dyke, who added: "We work very closely with Martin and the team at Centre Stage, and are delighted with the sound, build quality and overall very high standard of all Centre Stage products.

We'll be very happy to be using these for years to come!"
