'Boobs & Brass was formed in May 2006 & is based in Northamptonshire, England ... All the people involved with “Boobs & Brass” love music and brass bands. Undoubtedly, the greatest single contribution that each player, conductor, soloist, arranger and supporter makes is that they do it all at their own personal expense, driven by one common aim – to raise money for researching a cure for breast cancer ...'

‘Northamptonshire has an outstanding reputation for the quality of its county ensembles, with a busy annual performance schedule, many appearances at the finals of National Festivals and a long tradition of tours overseas. Over a thousand young people, members of our auditioned county groups and Youth Theatre, come to Northampton to the Kettering Road Music and Arts Centre to rehearse weekly during term time.’
