Ev-entz enjoys Welsh success

The leading retailer also enjoyed a highly successful appearance at the recent Welsh Regional Championships.

  Ev-entz continues to be a leading supporter of the brass band movement

Ev-entz, the leading stage hire, percussion specialists and music retailers, has offered their congratulations to the Welsh bands that have claimed Area titles as well as those who have qualified to represent the nation at the National Finals at London and Cheltenham.

Successful link

Ev-entz was at the contest held at the Great Hall at Swansea University where they enjoyed a highly successful weekend themselves — enhanced this year by their increasingly successful link to Geneva Instruments.

Owner Adrian Evans told 4BR: "It's always great as a Welsh company to be part of the Area Championships and welcome customers past, present and future to our trade stand.

We've built up numerous ongoing relationships with bands at all levels and we were delighted to be able to share the event with our friends at Geneva

We now have a large range of Geneva instruments that players can come and try out in store or as was shown in Swansea, on the trade stand itself. These are great instruments at a great price, so we are delighted to work with Geneva."

Range
