Inspired by the sterling efforts of Boobs & Brass and the National Old Boys Band of Scotland (NOBBS), Fife Ladies Brass will join together next year to help raise funds for Cancer Research and Maggies Cancer Care Centre.

Date in the books

A provisional date has been set for March 25th 2017 — but as there are so many players keen to get started that the date might get brought forward under the baton of Anne Crookston (above). The band has already set up a Facebook page.
