TRAIN operator Grand Central is back on board as sponsor of Yorkshire’s leading brass band entertainment contest, Brass Factor, for 2014.
After last year’s sell out concert in Harrogate the York-based train operator was keen to continue to support the competition which brings the traditional brass genre to a new audience.
Brass Factor has been entertaining crowds at Holmfirth’s Picturedome since 2010, where it began as a university project, and Grand Central is this year’s platinum sponsor for the popular venue, plus a soon-to-be-announced new location.
Sean English, general manager at Grand Central said: “We are delighted to announce that we will be sponsoring Brass Factor for a second year running.
“Grand Central is fully committed to supporting local communities within Yorkshire and the North East.
“This is a great initiative that encompasses the tradition of brass bands in the region while demonstrating modern talents.”
