Festival is a triumph despite the rain


RAIN — an unexpected and unwelcome visitor to Clitheroe’s 1973 Castle Festival — provided a supreme test of


flic


loyalty of more than 2,000 music lovers who turned up with the hope of sampling the best in folk and rock music.


But again it was the fes­


tival that emerged trium­ phant as the happy, if bed­ raggled, fans braved the elements to give their sup­ port to a first-class line-up of bands. Said 21-year-old Steve


Reece, of George Street, Clitheroe. a member of the Young People's Reereation Committee, which organises the events: " Once again, we can count the festival as a success. Considering the weather, it is incredible that we managed to break even.'1

And if l.hc rain did not


exactly add to the fans' happiness, it proved to be a help to the police, who re­ ported a '• comparatively trouble-free night."


Said a spokesman at


Clitheroe Police Station: " There w-ere four or five arrests for drunkenness, but none for drug-taking as far as we arc aware.


" The numbers were no­ where near what had been


estimated and this made our job a lot easier," he said. There were, he added, a few' skirmishes in towm centre pubs, but only one report of damage — to a shop window in Moor Lane.


FAVOURITE


Hundreds of fans waited patiently as rain hampered


the setting up of equipment and made for a delayed start to the concert. But at last Clitheroe band, Brain, took the stage to signal the start of the show. Formed only three months ago, the group was making its first public performance — which, sadly had to be curtailed to two numbers as the organisers strove to catch up with their schedule. Fadiham group Suggestion


followed on, and then the. festival began in earnest


with Byzantium, the first of the professional groups. There wa-s time for two


more bands — Longdancor and Grcenslade — to take


the stage before the heavy rain began. Longdancer, a Sunderland-based folk-rock


group proved a favourite


with the audience, manv of whom had travelled long distances to attend. The coming of the rains prompted groups of fans to


make off in the direction of the town centre pubs — but fortunately next group on, The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver proved a suffi­ cient crowd-puller to avert a mass exodus. Instead, out came the


yards of polythene sheeting thoughtfully provided by the organisers. But some fans scented unaware of the water that coursed down


the slopes and steps towards the bandstand, as, satura­


ted, they danced on to the groups' melodic sounds. Next on tile list was folk- rock guitarist Andy Roberts


—but he failed to turn up, and the organisers still


haven't heard where he got 1c His non-appearance proved to he a blessing in


disguise, as it put the con­ cert back on schedule—anti Stackridge, the group every­ one had been waiting for were able to display their talents to the full.


CROIVD-PLEASER They lived up to their not


inconsiderable reputation fop sounds of an unusual


anil varied nature. Songs included "L e t their


be Lids," a. roaring rrowd- pleaser, featuring four of the six members playing . . . dustbin lids: arid "Doing the Stanley," a number that could well provide a dance to succeed the Twist! With all membries of their


earlier soaking dispelled, the young fans responded warmly, and Stackridge were brought back for two encores.


And there wits still time,


as darkness fell and Die floodlights went on, for Fumble, a group with a dif­ ference, to Play a lengthy session to round off the show. They succeeded in their


virtually impossible task of following Stackridge with a repertoire featuring rock and roll songs of the 50's that soon bad the audience on their feet and clapping. Filling in the gaps in t-lie show was local disco, Disc-


Traction, aided by Radio One deejay, Pete Drum- f/, mond. making a return visit s to Clitheroe. More than 100 of the visi­


tors took advantage of the camping facilities at Edis- ford on Saturday night "W e had no trouble at


all.-' said baths manager, Mr David Smith. " Everyone was well behaved. Although wc had extra staff on hand, they were not needed."


The weather had a


marked effect on the tak­ ings of Clitheroe Round Table's hot dog stand at the Castle. Manned by 26 mem­ bers. the stall had enough food to cater for about 3.500 customers — but. they sold less than 1.000 hot dogs. " Unfortunately, the venture was rather a disaster," said


their Ways and Means con­ vener. Mr John Newberry.


"We had the staff and |he. food, but there just were not enough fans to cat it aU" Any nrofit from the stall


will go towards providing swings at Grindleton's new


recreation ground. Local licensees had much


to say in praise of the fans. Commented Mr James


Lovely, of the Cross Keys, in Lowergate: “ We did a roar­ ing trade, and everyone was very well-behaved."


PACKED OUT


Ba.wdlands, the story was the same. Said licensee's wife, Mrs Marjorie Cain:


“ The pub "'as packed out. but. everybody behaved


themselves. Trade was so brisk that wc ran out of bitter late in the evening.


At. the Horseshoe Inn.


LOCAL group Brain opened the proceedings with a and vocals). Trevor Turner (lead), Brian


and many people were buy­ ing bottles to take out."


But. at the New Inn, in


Parson Lane, licensee Mr John Bancroft was taking no chances. “ We did not open at, all in trie evening, because we thought there might be trouble," he ex­ plained. “ We have been very near to disaster in pre­


vious years.” Tile tain caused problems


lor St, John Ambulance per­ sonnel.


Said Divisional Superintendent, Miss Phyllis


Newsam: “ We had a steady stream of minor casualties —mainly people who had slipped on the west grass and Skinned their hands and knees."


Onlv one person needed


hospital treatment — a Blackburn woman who fell from a wall and injured her back was taken to Black- bum Infirmary. She was not


detained. But trie biggest problem


by far that. Miss Newsam arid her team of 16 helpers faced wa« that of drunken­ ness.


DRUNKENNESS " We lost, count of the


number we dealt, with." she said. " And I am black and blue with bntises caused by drunks trying to fight.


"One young man we dealt


with weighed 15 stone — and we had to carry him to our caravan. I f t ''cse tesli" vals are going to be a suc­ cess in future, the fans are going to have to be stopped from bringing in drink.”


Despite trie festival's


triumph over the odds, a cloud hangs over its future Clitheroe corporation, the only authority to sponsor


such an event will soon be no more, because of local government reorganisation.


Said Steve Reece: “ At the


moment we just don't, knotv wliat the future holds. It, is very difficult to say — it all depends on what, the new council has to say. I am sure that, given the go- ahead, trie Young People's Recreation

Toys supplement sales of books


VERY few shops can exist by simply selling new books alone and have to resort to sonic auxiliaiy line such as stationery and toys, commented Mr Roy Dewhurst, o f the Kaydee Bookshop, Clitheroe, when he spoke to the Clitheroe and District Probus Club about his job.


Mr Dewhurst said he had


gained his retail experience the hard way from practical experience. By introducing the sale of educational toys and games, the turnover had been considerably increased, and four years ago he had taken over a similar shop in Accrington.


He spoke or the outstand­


ing success of television ad­ vertising, particularly rela­ tive to toys and games, and instanced the immediate sales increase following such advertising. Mentioning the interest created by the world chess match last year between Fischer and Spassky, lie added that they sold all their stock of chess books and chess sets and even to­ day there is a world shortage of chess sets following the interest created by this match. As there were 2,500 book

Aubrey Stretch,


publishers in the country publishing some 20,000 to 30,000 books a year, it was a very difficult task to select for retail sale those books


which he thought would be of most interest to Clitheroe people. Miss Jessica Lofthouse, of


Blackburn, Was the most successful local author


publishing many books which were of outstanding interest to the Ribblesdale and Bowland district.


Mr Dewhurst said that


although re-fiU pens were most popular, there were still the faithful few who al­ ways used a fountain pen.


He thought the reason for


many coloured magazines and supplements being prin­ ted abroad was partly on the grounds of economy and partly because of the capa­ city available for quick pro­ duction.


One of the members, a re­


tired schoolmaster, stressed how the old type comic paper had helped to start childrens’ interest in read­ ing. Mr T. P. Rushton, Clitheroe, thanked Mr Dew­ hurst. Mr S. Whiteside presided


over 61 members and an­ nounced that wives were invited to the meeting on


June 15th, to hear a talk en­ titled “ An architect looks at life " by Mr J. S. Butler, of Accrington.
