Ladies Brass Band with a Mission!

Boobs and Brass is an all womens brass band from Northamptonshire, England.  They formed in 2006 to help raise money for breast cancer charities. They had a great success for their first concert raising 5,000 pounds.  Since then, they have raised over 53,600 pounds for breast cancer charities!  They are hard to miss since they all sport bright pink blazers.  Many of the women in the group have experienced breast cancer or have relatives and friends who are fighting breast cancer.   Boobs and Brass has a CD for sale that features flugel hornist John Lee- all proceeds go to charity.  Another CD Boobs and Brass is promoting is Judith Hayes' arrangement for brass band of the Mongolian folk tune Durvun Tsagiin Tal (Four Seasons of the Steppe).  Check out their website, and see all the wonderful work these ladies are doing: Boobs and Brass.
