  The specialists are on hand to help bands out

The travel and accommodation specialists rooms4groups has told 4BR that they have enjoyed a great response from bands seeking their professional vice on booking hotel accommodation for the Cheltenham and London National Finals later this year.

Perfect facilities

They told 4BR: "It's been a busy period for us following the regional championship series and we have been working hard to ensure bands have fantastic deals and the perfect facilities and accommodation to prepare for their appearances at Cheltenham and London.

We have several hotels pre-booked and ready to go with exclusive deals specially negotiated for the National Final weekends. So if any band hasn't finalised their preparations then get in touch and leave things to us."
