BTM Brass Band

BTM’s got talent thanks to PHS!  Move over Simon Cowell because when it comes to spotting talent, PHS has found its own rising star in the form of the BTM Brass Band.  And without having to resort to a phone poll, we're putting our money where our mouth is by agreeing to sponsor the band for a second year.

Following a successful twelve months for the BTM (Bedwas, Trethomas and Machen) Brass Band, we've once again agreed to help fund the musical maestros to the tune of £5,000. This money will go some way towards costs for appearances at charity concerts and competitions throughout the UK as well as subsidising a tuition program for local aspiring musicians.  

Our previous funding helped enable the BTM Brass Band, based near our head office in Caerphilly, to compete in events throughout Wales to earn the coveted title of Champion Band of Wales 2007, an accolade that they are due to defend later in the year.  With a host of other awards under its belt, the only danger facing BTM is the possibility that the band may soon have to spend more time polishing its silverware than its brassware!

Jeff Hutcherson, Chairman of the BTM Band Society said, “Competition for these awards is stiff and the sponsorship we have received from PHS means that the band can concentrate on the music rather than the finances.  This year we hope to ...[specific goal] ” 

Director of Group Marketing for PHS, Stuart Price added, “We are delighted to be supporting the BTM Brass Band once again.  PHS and BTM share the same ethos of striving to be top in their field whilst being mindful of the local community.  We look forward to hearing of their further successes.”
