One band that will be hoping that they perform as well as they look today at the Spring Festival will be Scottish Champion Whitburn.

Before they enjoyed their final rehearsal under Prof Nicholas Childs in Blackpool on Friday evening before their Grand Shield assault they were kitted out in their brand new stage jackets courtesy of Centre Stage Uniforms.

Bespoke jackets

MD Martin Gernon had made a special trip to the hotel to ensure that the bespoke jackets were presented in plenty of time to the Scots, as he told 4BR.

"Whitburn came to us for their jackets and a time scale for the Spring Festival weekend. As always we aim to meet our customer's needs, so it was no problem to source their famous red jacket design and get them produced in time.

That's why bands at all levels come to Centre Stage Uniforms."
