T&R Direct offers policies from a panel of leading UK insurers for Brass Bands, Pipe Bands, Orchestras, Recording Studios, Records & Vinyl Collectors, home, car and even travel insurance.

There to help

Lee Taylor of T&R Direct told 4BR: "Although bands think they have their insurance requirements covered, they really do need to regularly check their policies. It's easy to do and we will be on hand in Torquay to help with enquiries.

The last thing you need if you need to claim is to find out your policy doesn't cover you, or you are under insured, or you haven't updated essential requirements.

So please come along and say hello — and even bring your insurance documents and details with you, so we can help. We are here to help, and you never know, you could well win an iPad too as well as a qualification to the National Finals!"
