| AMB/PL001 |  BIG SAND Big Sand is one of the UK's top steel drum bands. Its core business is providing quality music for Champagne receptions. The band's website features an attractive pair of Champagne glasses with real bubbly Champagne. This feature creates an excellent opportunity for the right Champagne company to sponsor the band and add its logo to the impressive display. The website is aimed at clients who order a vast amount of Champagne for weddings, private parties and corporate receptions. The band is also advertised regularly in Vogue's bridal address book and many top publications. The sponsor's logo will be highly visible and seen by thousands of AB visitors who regularly arrange Champagne receptions - and this will have a significant impact on their sales.

| AMB/PL003 |  HAMMERED STEEL Hammered Steel is a steel band situated in the west of Cornwall, founded in 1993 as a community project. One of the original aims of the band was to promote multi-cultural ideals within its remote and rural community. From the beginning Hammered Steel was very popular with audiences, playing mainly Caribbean influenced music with calypso, soca and reggae rhythms - and soon gained a reputation for high quality performances, this being rewarded with winning joint first place in the Best Band on the Road competition at the Notting Hill Carnival in 2004, beating many of the top steel bands in the country. The original band bought a set of battered old pans, but these have now been replaced by better quality pans - the band is always looking to improve and increase the number of pans, but finances restrict their ambitions. The band was invited to represent Cornwall at the Royal Show in Stoneleigh in 1998 and have since played in many prestigious events, including the Royal Cornwall Show, Trevithick Day, Mazey Day (on more than one occasion) and Glastonbury Music Festival in 2007. Hammered Steel is a registered charity (1060530), enabling it to pursue its aims of broadening cultural horizons and extending opportunities to those in the community who might not be able to afford such expensive instruments to learn to perform at a high standard. They were successful in gaining support from the Foundation of Sport and Arts in 1997 to provide a van to transport all of the equipment to the various gigs that they play; but this van is now in desperate need of renewal. Hammered Steel is always aiming for ever higher standards and is now looking to extend performances throughout the country - but again its finances restrict its needs and ambitions. Hammered Steel presently raises funding by the sale of their CD recordings, playing at various gigs including weddings, fetes and other events and collections from members of the public, but are always looking for sponsorship in any way, shape or form, and so any help from anyone would be very much appreciated by all those associated with what they believe is a very special steel band.

Formed in 1900 and making its first BBC radio broadcast in 1938, the City of Cambridge Brass Band has served the community from which it stems with loyalty and steadfastness. Along the way, it has operated under alternative titles, but has always been aware of the need to enhance the repertoire of original brass music and educate the public with its performances. During this long history, the band has increased its profile and reputation by helping raise many thousands of pounds for charities including Radio Cambridgeshire’s Trustline Appeal, MAGPAS and the Rotary Club. Prestigious concerts have involved many famous names and specially-commissioned works performed in some outstanding locations. These have included several BBC broadcasts including a recording from Ely Cathedral. A long history of competition successes has included both local and national events, including qualifying for the National Finals in London as recently as 2000. The band gained charitable status in 2000 and is presently self-financing, income generated from concerts, donations, subscription fees and sponsorship.

The band is also available for corporate functions. Companies that already benefit from this opportunity include Yorkshire Building Society, British Telecom and NTL.
