Cracking Media rescues band and rebuilds web site

In the lead up to Christmas 2011 and just prior to the successful "Sounds of Christmas" concert at the Royal Bath, the web site of Bournemouth Concert Brass (BCB) crashed!

Having had in mind a new web site for 2012 BCB approached Peter Lunn at Cracking Media to see if they would consider being the band "Associate Marketing" partner for a new journey in the New Year.

BCB music stand banner with Bournemouth Coat of ArmsPeter agreed and Cracking Media instantly restored the web site and are now hosting and managing the site. Over the past month Peter has been working with Martin Collett, BCB's Marketing Manager, to create a new web site for the band to reflect their 100 year history and recent restoration to the Championship section within the brass band world.

Cracking Media have taken the band's ideas and created a clean and professional site for the BCB enabling them to let Bournemouth meet individual players, see the band's busy diary and more importantly engage with the band's 2012 patronage scheme, which this year is focusing on re-branding.

Since the 80s BCB has used the bandstand logo linked to its history with the Pinewalk Bandstand. For 2012 the band has obtained permission from Bournemouth Council to officially adopt the Bournemouth Coat of Arms as its crest which it counts as a great honour. The band is setting out to invite private and business patronage to acquire and new set of stand banners for the band and new shirts and travel jackets with the new image.

Being members of the Bournemouth Chamber of Trade and Commerce (BCTC), BCB endeavour to keep business partners local. Fellow BCTC member Cracking Media (www.crackingmedia.com) certainly meet that criteria. To see the results of Cracking Media's work on behalf of the band and enquire about supporting the 2012 patronage scheme, please visit www.bournemouthconcertbrass.co.uk.

If you have any old photos or connections that will help the band complete missing years in their 100 year history, please call Martin Collett on 07917 340242. Or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

You can next hear the band in concert at the Barrington Theatre in Ferndown on April 21st when they will give a concert of music from well known musicals and films.
