Angostura Ltd says the company is now the official sponsor of Starlift Steel Orchestra. A statement yesterday said the band signed a contract with the company on January 18. It said the band will now be called White Oak Starlift. "This will be the second time that Angostura would be sponsoring the orchestra under the same name as they did so in 1964," said captain of the band, Michael Franco at the signing.
Angostura said it is happy to be able to rekindle its relationship with Starlift as they begin their quest for the panorama title this year. Angostura said it only expects good things from the White Oak Starlift Steel Orchestra and is confident that they will excel in this year's National Panorama. Angostura said it has had a great association with the nation's steel orchestras, spanning more than 40 years and the company was happy to be able to sponsor this band once again.
