Wingates Band Heritage Preservation

Following up on the 150th anniversary of the band, we are planning to set up a heritage website to preserve the band’s historical and musical documentation.

Now, how can you help?

When you’re doing your shopping around Tesco, you might remember seeing some very interesting-looking tubes at the exit to the store, containing little blue tokens with various charities above them. At the end of your shop, you should be given some of these little blue tokens where you can choose which charity you would like to support.

So the big question.

If you would like to help us set up our heritage website, please use your little blue tokens and choose to support us in preserving the history of your band!

Thank You!

It’s an absolute pleasure to be joining The KNDS Fairey...
