A customer of mine has created a YouTube channel for their business but is concerned about the advertising distracting from the product.
Is there any way to stop or prevent the adverts from appearing?
The channel is here – http://www.youtube.com/user/AtholeStillOpera

AFAIK there currently is no way to do this server-side i.e. clients will have to install some form of AdBlocking technology for their respective browsers, but at least there are many options available e.g. Ad Block Plus.
The fact of the matter is, Google sadly still has yet to offer some type of pay option to disable ads - both for viewers and directors!
Due to this reason, several friends have moved over to Vimeo and MetaCafe which (currently still) never displays directly on videos, instead opting for ads displaying only on the side of the page. I'm not sure about MetaCafe but Vimeo also lets you embed videos in your website e.g. Wordpress blogs - where you will never see an advertisement!
