Jessica currently plays for Rushden Town Band, and was delighted when she was asked to join the girls at Boobs and Brass. She has been playing brass instruments since the age of 7, starting on the tenor horn following with the Baritone and Euphonium and somehow ending up on the Tuba! Jessica has also been a member of The Harborough Band and Harrogate Band, along with the Kew Youth Band in Australia whilst living there with her family. Jessica thoroughly loves being a member of Boobs and Brass and says 'I feel so privileged to be a part of something that is for such a great cause, and it’s so rewarding to know that we are hopefully making a difference for thousands of people. Joining Boobs and Brass is the best thing I’ve ever done!'
As a child I played the Cello but gave up when I went to University. Many years later my children started Brass lessons at school and joined Ratby Co-op training band. Approaching 40 and wanting a new challenge I taught myself to play Eb Bass and joined the children at Ratby where I changed to Bb Bass and took lessons for a while. Together we moved up through the Junior Band and into Mid-Band before the "children" moved on to pastures new. In October 2007 I was asked to play with Boobs & Brass at a concert in Kettering Parish Church and thoroughly enjoyed it, despite having to sight-read the whole programme.
I have joined them on many occasions since, it is always an honour to put on the pink jacket and very rewarding to read the latest " Total raised" on the website but I doubt if anything can beat playing in Huddersfield Town Hall alongside Brighouse & Rastrick.Ratby Co-operative Mid-Band
