Friary
  The band sported their new polo shirts in Blackpool's Winter Gardens last weekend

The Friary Band appeared at the recent British Open Spring Festival in their brand new casual contest day polo shirts thanks to linking up with Musicwearetc.co.uk

The London & Southern Counties band made the trip up to Blackpool to compete in the Grand Shield, claiming a fourth consecutive top-10 finish.

Top-10

Also at the Winter Gardens was Musicwearetc.co.uk's MD, Lloyd Shipp who also had a top-10 experience of his own.

"It was great to be here in Blackpool and support the event as we always do with the provision of the commemorative banners for the winners in each section but it's also as its one of the top venues for new business we visit in our busy calendar.

On Saturday morning alone I counted at last 10 bands wearing our polo shirts or waistcoats or jackets — and at least another 10 got in touch with me before I had my lunch to find out more about our products.£

Premier supplier

He added: "Friary have been the latest band to link up with us — acknowledging our position as the premier supplier of high quality formal and casual contest day wear for the brass band movement."
