Ashington enjoy banner work from Musicwearetc

Ashington Colliery is the latest band to use Musicwearetc to give them a new banner presence.

Musicwear
  Musicwear provided the band with new stand banners

Musicwearetc, the leading provider of banding attire, stage jackets, ties and stand banners has been out and about making sure its customers enjoy both its great products and services.

Benefit

The latest to benefit is Ashington Colliery Band in the North East who recently purchased a full set of stand banners that they have already used in their concerts.

Musicwearetc MD Lloyd Shipp told 4BR: "We have been busy over the last few months maintaining direct contact with our customers and ensuring that they are fully satisfied with the quality, cost and customer service we provide.

Bands need to know that their investment is being made in quality products and with a company that values them. That's why I enjoy meeting the band directly as often as I can and why we work closely with them form the start of the order to the final delivery."

Concert appearances

Ashington recently showed off their new stand banners at a local concert and will do so again through a busy festive period with them in concerts at St Cuthbert's Church, Blyth; Bothal Church, Bothal and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Ashington.
