International BBSS
  Band Supplies will join the massed ranks from all over the banding world in Swansea

Leading brass and percussion retailer Band Supplies will be heading to Wales next week to showcase their range of products at the International Brass Band Summer School in Swansea.

And with a worldwide client base built up over many years of providing a world class service, Managing Director Ronnie Tennant is certainly looking forward to experiencing a course that attracts delegates from all over the globe.

Best in the world

"The International Brass Band Summer School is unquestionably the best in the world — and offers its delegates the very best musical experience with tuition led by Course Director Prof Nicholas Childs of Black Dyke,"he said.

"Players of all levels and abilities are always keen to explore and enquire about the latest instruments and developments, and that is something we've also built our reputation on — providing our customers with the best information on the best instruments for them.

I'm really looking forward to the IBBSS and to meet up with players from all over the banding world to find out about their experiences, aims and ambitions."

Reputation

Course Director Prof Nicholas Childs is also delighted that Band Supplies will join an impressive list of partners on a course that has built its reputation by offering its delegates the widest possible banding experiences and opportunities.

"Ronnie and Band Supplies are renowned for their service and expertise, and for putting their customers first. The IBBSS offers our delegates the same, so this gives them the opportunity to find out more by meeting the very best in the business.

I'm thrilled Ronnie will be with us and I'm sure he will enjoy a little taste of my home country as well!"

Come and say hello

Ronnie will be joined by Steve Greenfield from the Leeds store, and added: "We will be bringing with us all our latest products and will be able to talk to the delegates about exciting new developments and advances that could also help them as players.

All people have to do is come along and say hello in whatever their language, and we will try our best!"
