With over 35,000 titles available online, there will be a vast selection of music on display at their trade stands offering players and MDs the perfect opportunity to browse exciting scores and parts.

As well as music, the full range of mutes from the Wallace Mute Collection will also be available, giving players the chance to browse and purchase these stunning mutes, used by the world's top bands and players.

Trip to Wales

This year will also see them trading at the Welsh Championships for the first time. Owner, Gavin Somerset told 4BR: "To be able to visit Wales this year is something we're really looking forward to.

Due to date clashes in the past, we've never before had the opportunity to meet many of our Welsh customers face to face, so it will be great to meet many of them in person.'
