  Carlton Brass had a hoot in Amboise...

Carlton Brass recently had a great time at the French Open Championships in Amboise, helped along the way by their brand new polo shirts designed by the team at Your Logo Here.

Absolute hoot

Gary Wyatt's band certainly enjoyed themselves as their Facebook diary stated: "The whole trip was an absolute hoot, from the bus journeys to and from France, to the ferries, and the stay at the Ibis Budget Hotel in Amboise.

We got to spend three days or so among some fantastic people and we all had a huge amount of fun."

Both meeting up and meeting the requirements of Carlton Brass was a real joy. What a great band to deal with and it was so good to hear that they had such a fantastic timeLloyd Shipp

Pleasure

The band sported their new polo shirts on the trip, with Your Logo Here Development Manager Lloyd Shipp telling 4BR that it was a pleasure to deal with such a friendly band.

"Both meeting up and meeting the requirements of Carlton Brass was a real joy. What a great band to deal with and it was so good to hear that they had such a fantastic time.

What we did was just a small part of such a well organised trip, but we are delighted to have been involved in helping the band make a mark in Amboise."
