Jennifer Barrow

I started playing in 1989 on cornet at Clipstone Colliery Welfare Band at the age of 31, moved to at Burbage Band (Buxton), Darley Band, Riddings, Newstead Welfare Band and Shirland Miners Welfare Band, on cornet. I had a break for four years from playing before joining Melton Band in 2007. I moved to Hucknall and Linby MC Band at the beginning of 2009 to play 1st Baritone, an instrument I have longed to play for years but never had the opportunity and to be with my family. I am married to Paul who plays cornet (rep) and I live in Grantham. My daughter plays flugel in my band and my son plays Bass Trombone for a top section band. My grandson plays in the training band, now aged 9 and I have a grandaughter, aged 5. I started playing for Boobs and Brass in the summer of 2009 when rehearsals began to record the CD.

Amanda Beale

I first started playing the cornet aged 11, in Beanfield School Brass Band. Highlights of being in the school band include a couple of performances at the Albert Hall, one memorable time where we accompanied the well known trombonist Don Lusher, in a piece he wrote specifically for the band to perform at the Albert Hall - 'Cameo for trombone'

After 18 months of cornet I transferred on to baritone - which I have played ever since - although I do occasionally help out other bands on back row cornet.

I am very proud to be a member of Boobs and Brass

Whilst at University Sam started playing with the Long Eaton Silver Prize Band, and spent an enjoyable 8 years with them, moving from the 4th to the 2nd section and winning the 3rd section National Finals along the way. Having spent an enjoyable 2 years with The Kibworth band Sam now plays with the Thoresby Colliery Band in North Nottinghamshire. Sam is a Teacher of Chemistry in Nottingham.
