rooms4groups have spoken of their delight at sponsoring the Band Project of the Year Award at the 2023 Brass Bands England Awards.

The award recognises banding organisations who have delivered exciting projects which have promoted brass banding across the country.

The nominees this year were Hatherleigh Silver Band for their 'Bandamonium' project, LGB Brass for 'BrassSparks', City of Birmingham Brass Band for 'Light the Lakes', the ConsTest Brass Band Championship and WFEL Fairey Band with 'Wallace & Gromit'.

Speaking about their support, rooms4groups MD Maria Turley-Allerton told 4BR: "We have been working with many bands across the country for several years.

We are proud to continue our partnership with Brass Bands England and to support the banding community by sponsoring this award. We wish all of the shortlisted bands the best of luck and well done for their hard work."
