Be a Doodles star in Fleetwood

Before or after you have played at the Fleetwood contest this weekend you need to drop in sees about a bit of doodling...

Doodles
  Doodles Mouthpieces will be at the Fleetwood Contest this weekend.

If you are at the Fleetwood Contest this Sunday and you still haven't got around to giving your mouthpiece a spring refresh or makeover then make sure you pop it in your pocket and head for the Doodles Mouthpiece trade stand.

Show off

Doodles Mouthpiece Replating is the respected business that provides players in the brass band movement with a bespoke professional service, with owner Dave Houghton telling 4BR: "It's great being able to show off what we are able to do for customers old and new — especially the range of finishes we can offer.

There will be plenty of star performers playing on stage at the contest I'm sure, but I also keep an eye out for a potential star mouthpiece too, so if you want to shine — from soprano to tuba, then as soon as you come off stage come and see us, and we will make you sparkle."
