Miles ahead for Pennine Music

The team from Pennine Music will be racking up the miles this weekend to bring their brilliant products to bands in the south west and Yorkshire.

Pennine Music
  There will be plenty of great music to enjoy from Pennine Music in Torquay and Yorkshire this weekend.

Following their trade stand appearances at the ecent Bolsover, Rochdale and the Wychavon Contest events in October, Pennine Music will be on the road again this weekend in Torquay for the SWBBA Annual Contest on Saturday (5th November).

However, they won't stay to enjoy a leisurely Sunday by the seas, as they will return to Yorkshire in time for the Yorkshire & Humberside Annual Contest in Holmfirth the following day.

Lots of miles

Owner Gavin Somerset told 4BR: "It's a lot of miles to cover during this very busy time of year, but we know that bands love to be able to browse our music publication first hand and so, we're more than happy to oblige.

After travelling the from Yorkshire to Devon and back again this weekend, we're looking forward to a weekend at home before being back out again for the LBBA (Leicester) Contest on Sunday 20th November."
