The great Boobs & Brass Band have managed to get their hands on a fantastic piece of brass band memorabilia as they look to try and break the £200,000 fund raising mark for Breast Cancer charity by the end of the year.

Legend

The legendary soprano player Peter Roberts has generously donated his Brass Band of Battle Creek bomber jacket which he was presented with to wear when he made trips to play for the all-star American band between 1999 and 2007.
