Newmoon Insurance

Newmoon Musicians Insurance offer specialist cover for individual musicians, groups, bands and orchestras. They insure from a single instrument for a student up to insuring buildings and contents for a musical organisation.

 

The British Bandsman

Originally founded in 1887, The British Bandsman is one of the most famous names in Brass Band Media. Having originally been a printed magazine, The British Bandsman now maintains a popular online presence ranging from updates at competitions through to interviews and features of members of the band community.

 

sshhmute

Needing to practice at odd times and in odd places over the years (and the absence of a suitable mute) was the reason Trevor Bremner designed the sshhmute. In development over several years in his New Plymouth workshop, the sshhmute has been in full commercial production for well over 20 years and has been successfully launched to answer a market need for an effective mute for brass instruments in a price range to suit budding musicians and professionals alike.
