New sponsor for Whiston

Sponsors to help Whiston Brass on French Tour.

 

Whiston Brass has announced that a local south Yorkshire electronics company are to sponsor their forthcoming tour of Brittany, France.

Sunny weather

Sensdata Limited, specialising in developing intelligent electronic systems and headed by Dr Robert Brown, a brass band enthusiast and player with many local bands have supplied Whiston Band with a set of summer shirts to wear, hopefully in the sunny weather at most of their outdoor concerts whilst in France.

These will include, playing at the picturesque island sanctuary of Le Mont St Michel and the historic town of Fougeres, the site of a large medieval castle.

We are really pleased that Rob’s company, ‘Sensdata’ are helping us with our tour and generally to enhance our good relationship we have with our many friends in Brittany and of course to promote the brass band moment abroadWhiston Brass
