Boobs & Brass continue to make the most of their assets

Another great concert from the Boobs & Brass girls helps fill the coffers for their Breast Cancer Charity.

Boobs and Brass in action
 

The fabulous fund raising girls of Boobs & Brass received a standing ovation at the conclusion of their latest concert at St Mary’s Church in Finedon, Northants on the weekend.

Cracking night

The audience were treated to cracking night of popular music and entertainment which included guest soloist, accordion player Mairi Addy and local singer Jon Baish.

It was also the first performance under the baton of Stan Lippeatt, who was delighted to be asked to be part of this unique concept.

Superb

After the concert, Stan commented: "The band played very well, the soloists were brilliant and the singer was great! Everyone involved in the organisation are super people and in fact the whole evening was very enjoyable and raised so much money for such a good cause."

The ‘Boobies’ are now looking forward to their trip north to appear once again at the Whit Friday contests with Stan at the helm – so you are sure not to miss them!

To date, Boobs & Brass have raised in excess of £108,000, and their aim is to raise at least another £12,000 before the end of this year4BR

House of Lords

Earlier in the month, three of the girls represented Boobs & Brass at a reception hosted by Breast Cancer Campaign at The House of Lords. There, they heard remarkable stories from women who have battled against the disease as well as meeting inspiring people who are also doing so much to raise much needed funds for further research.

To date, Boobs & Brass have raised in excess of £108,000, and their aim is to raise at least another £12,000 before the end of this year.
