Superb free tuition

Sterling Instruments MD Paul Riggett told 4BR: "This is a fantastic opportunity for players in the area to gain superb tuition from two of the finest exponents in the banding world — and all free of charge!"

Andrew Kershaw of Waterbeach Band added: "We are really excited and would like to thank Paul Riggett for his support. There will also be an array of Sterling Virtuoso Instruments which we are all looking forward to 'test driving' on the day."
