Conference delegates Brigitte Downs and Martin Loft from Black Cat Music were full of praise for the organisation, location and atmosphere at the FMS conference last weekend.
Sales Executive, Brigitte Downs, said, "We thoroughly enjoyed the conference, and thought the location was very good. It was great to see lots of familiar faces but also to introduce our Music Practice Rooms to people who weren't aware that this product was available to them."
Brigitte's colleague Martin Loft, Technical Sales Executive added, "We thought the conference was very well organised and the hotel excellent. Great food!"
Black Cat Music will be attending the Federation of Music Services 2012 Conference taking place at the Wyboston Lakes Hotel in Bedfordshire, 15th to 16th June and also exhibiting a comprehensive range of equipment for music education, performance and rehearsal.

Whether you are looking for musical performance equipment, event staging, audience and performance seating, theatre equipment or acoustic solutions, Black Cat Music can provide high-quality equipment, which is as durable as it is elegant and easy to use.
The organisers say the 2012 FMS Annual Conference [http://www.thefms.org/training-and-events/conferences] ‘FMS Leading the Way’ will be, “an exciting conference for an exciting year in music education. In England, Music Services, and their partners, are working tirelessly to ensure a smooth transition for the September launch of the 122 new ‘Music Education Hubs’ recently announced by Arts Council England. These hubs will provide instrumental lessons, bands, choirs, orchestras, and other music-making opportunities in and out of school for all children in their local area. Basically they will bring to life the Government’s ‘National Plan for Music Education’.”
A-Cappella Ladies barbershop choir, based in Kornwestheim, Germany, discovered the benefits of Wenger Tourmaster Risers are well suited to their needs. Endorsing the products supplied by Black Cat Music, Joanna Ardizzone said, “risers are very important for a barbershop chorus, because as well as singing, we place great importance on presentation. The Wenger Tourmasters are ideal for us, easy to transport and put up, comfortable and safe to stand on.”
Toumaster Risers were designed to meet the needs of choirs. They are quick to fold away, roll into place and can be set up smoothly and easily. Tourmaster is easy to take up stairs, around tight corners and load into a tour bus or van. Thanks to precision engineering and use of high quality materials Tourmaster risers continue to perform year in year out.
During June Black Cat Music are offering the Wenger Preface Conductor’s music stand at a 10 per cent discount compared to the usual price.
Already affordably priced thanks to elegant design and clever engineering, the Preface Conductor’s stand still benefits from plenty of useful features. This stylish conductor's stand enjoys a large desk, a sleek, non-scratch black surface, and dual posts offering superb stability and strength. Although robust it's also extremely lightweight and easy to use and store. The tilting desk permits easy angle adjustment while integrated storage keeps all the conductor's needs nearby and out-of-sight. In fact, it's been exquisitely fine-tuned to give conductors more stand for less money. Plus each stand comes with a 5-year warranty.

When Mountain Harmony Ladies Barbershop Chorus bought Wenger Tourmaster Risers and 4th Step Additions from Black Cat Music, Chairman, Heather Allsopp was delighted with the service received.
Heather asked that her appreciation be passed to all concerned, saying, “ I must thank you and the warehouse staff for the exemplary service I have had, not forgetting Coopers Carriers who provided the service at this end. Nothing has been too much trouble and everyone I have dealt with has gone out of their way to help, which has made the whole business so much easier for me.”
The fifty strong, Mold, Wales based barbershop chorus now enjoys the benefit of Toumaster Risers which are ideal for choirs on tour as they are designed to fold away, roll into place and set up smoothly and easily. Tourmaster is easy to take up stairs, around tight corners, across the parking lot and load into a bus or van.
