Band Supplies
  Band Supplies will be in Blackpool with brilliant deals to go with an insured peace of mind.

Band Supplies is heading to Blackpool this weekend with a trade stand packed with more prize goodies than can found at the Golden Mile fun fair.

Not only will you have the chance to pick up some brilliant instrument deals on new and used stock, but if you fancy something a little bit different you can get your hands on a couple of Brighouse & Rastrick Geneva cornets.

1 year free insurance policy

Band Supplies now offers a one year free insurance policy with Brass Band Insurance Services with every new instrument purchased — a great extra peace of mind.

All BBIS policies offer much wider cover than the traditional home insurance and all policies are issued on behalf of Aviva Insurance, guaranteeing maximum security.
