Alder Valley make a smart looking musical mark on Netherlands tour

Alder Valley has just enjoyed a fine short tour to the Netherlands thanks to some great music making and a sharp new jacket look.

Alder VALLEY
  The Alder Valley Band performed in their new jackets on their successful tour

Alder Valley Brass recently enjoyed a short tour to the Netherlands where they gave concerts in both Delft and Rotterdam.

The band certainly made an impression — and not just with their excellent music making which was much appreciated by the audiences they performed to.

The band also sported their brand new band jackets which were funded by assistance gained from money raised from Tesco's 'Bags of Help' initiative in Aldershot, Longstock Park Water Garden on the Leckford Estate Charity where they band regularly performs and a generous donation from one of their long-term supporters.

Wonderful trip

A spokesperson told 4BR: "The trip was wonderful and a great boost to the band whilst the jackets made for us by musicwearetc showed us off brilliantly."

In response Musicwearetc Development Manager Lloyd Shipp told 4BR: "It's been great working with Alder Valley. They are another band which is full of great people with a fantastic passion for playing brass band music together at home and abroad.

The service we provide is tailored literally to the needs of the players to enable our customers to purchase top quality products at affordable prices."
