Boobs Branch Out

The great girls are hoping to get more Boobs out in the Midlands and beyond...

Boobs and Brass
 

There are now so many ladies interested in being involved with the wonderful Boobs & Brass Band, that the organizers are trying to form a number of regional bands so that more ladies can be involved with helping to raise much needed funds for a cause very close to many peoples hearts — Breast Cancer Campaign.

Derbyshire

Two current members of B&B, Helen Thurlby and daughter Emma have been successful in putting a group together to perform a concert in Litton, Derbyshire.

Girls, Girls, Girls

The village is holding a full week of events to raise money for Breast Cancer and Helen decided that this was an ideal opportunity to invite ladies from various bands — Fairfield, Cressbrook, Tideswell, Bakewell, Whaley Bridge, Hatfield, Black Dyke and Fodens to perform under the umbrella of Boobs & Brass.

Brave Wych

Alan Wycherley has very bravely agreed to be ‘the man in the middle!’

The only area Helen is struggling with at the moment is the bass section — so if there are any female bass players that want to help a great cause then go to the website: www.boobsandbrass.com
