Booby girls splash the cash

The fantastic lasses from Boobs & Brass to present yet more funds to their brilliant cause.

Boobs and Brass
 

At their annual Kettering concert on the 18th October, Boobs & Brass will be presenting a cheque for £6,900 to Breast Cancer Campaign.

The proceeds come from their trip to Scotland where they performed in Alyth Parish Church and the donations given to them at the Whit Friday Marches. This takes their total donations to charity to over £20,000 and by the end of the year they are hoping to exceed £25,000.

As you can imagine, there is plenty of excitement in the "Boobs" camp and we feel extremely privileged to have been given this wonderful opportunityBoobs & Brass

Big ones

All the girls are very busy rehearsing for the `big one` on 25th October with Brighouse & Rastrick Band.

Over a hundred of their local supporters will be travelling up to Huddersfield with the band for this very unique concert.

A Boobs spokesperson told 4BR: "As you can imagine, there is plenty of excitement in the "Boobs" camp and we feel extremely privileged to have been given this wonderful opportunity."
