Highland Brass wins debbie&andrew's support:

Micro-sponsorship helps seed fund raising activities

Highland Brass is currently the only brass band in the Highlands providing performance opportunities for talented amateur musicians. With players from as far afield as Nairn, Speyside, Ullapool and Sutherland, the group aims to widen interest in brass music across the Highlands by arranging performances throughout the region. Set up in August, the first concerts are planned over the Christmas period, thanks to funds from debbie&andrew's micro-sponsorship scheme. This scheme was set up to provide starter funds to help set up rural community projects. Highland Brass are using the £500 donated to them through the scheme to buy music, while the free debbie&andrew's sausages will be used to set up a sizzling fund raising supper. The micro-sponsorship is also helping promote the Highland Brass scheme through the debbie&andrew's website and press office.Highland Brass will be playing at Inverness Tesco 21 Dec 6-8pm (retail park) Sun 22 Dec 10-12pm & 12-2pm (retail park) Mon 23 Dec 10.30-12.30pm (Inshes)
