Audio-Technica is giving its support to a young up-and-coming band following their triumph in this years York’s Best of the Bands competition. Organized by the performing arts department of the City of York council, the competition attracts support from local, national and international companies, and this is the second year Audio-Technica has joined the list of sponsors. Meniscus, the winning band whose members all attend St. Peters school, managed to see off stiff competition from 11 other acts to claim this year's crown, and walked away with a raft of prizes. Among these was an Audio-Technica voucher to be redeemed at A-T dealer and co-sponsor of the competition, MOR Music of York. Other prizes included studio time, musical instruments and outboard equipment. The band, who also won the event last year under the name of 'The Switch', are; Alex Brandon-Davies on vocals and bass guitar, Charles Strickland-Constable on lead guitar, Tom Wright on bass, Oli Brandon-Davies on keyboards and vocals, Alex McEnaney on percussion and DJ Suspect on the decks.More accustomed to working with stadium filling superstars, Audio-Technica got involved with the project as part of its commitment to supporting a thriving local music scene. A-T’s Executive assistant, Denise Turner explained "As a company, we are always pleased to hear of initiatives to give encouragement and confidence to young musicians. The York event more than achieves this, and when approached, we were happy to once again offer our help and support."
