chester Festival of Music and A r t , which s ta r ts tomorrow.
For while David Brandwood-
Spencer, of Penwortham, has taken on the task of administrat ing the 1997 event, his daughter, Sarah, a professional musician, is returning to Ribchester to play in the festival’s closing concert. •
The Brandwood-Spencers are
no strangers to the world pf entertainment; David and his wife, Marilyn, were members of Preston Musical Comedy Society for some 30 years. But David, a former adminis
trator with Blackburn Borough Council, acknowledges that it was through Sarah’s interest in the vio l in that he became involved with classical music
events. He served as chairman of the
Lancashire Schools’ Symphony Orchestra for three years. Mean-1 while, Sarah went on to the
Royal Northern College of Music and is half way through a post graduate artist’s diploma at the C on se rv a to ire in T oronto, Canada.
David stepped in as festival
administrator, having “ got involved in the margins last year when I stage-managed for most of the festival and enjoyed it.”
He added: “ I t ’ s been an
extremely interesting and chal lenging experience.”
Sarah will perform with the Goldberg Chamber Orchestra in
the Grand Finale Concert, which features Russian violinist Lydia Mordkovitch and a programme of works by Haydn, Vaughan Wil liams, Holst and Schubert. She said: “ I always enjoy com
ing to Ribchester. The festival has such a lovely atmosphere and it’s a beautiful setting.” Sarah first appeared at the
festival in 1994 as a member of The Martel Ensemble and has played at the Ribble Valley event every year since then. 9 See “Lifestyle” for full fes

THE ability of gardeners to ignore the vagaries of

Berry, of Teewood Farm, Waddington. Members and friends arrived in ever-increasing
numbers to' enjoy coffee in a rather unconventional but very comfortable tea room converted in great haste from a disused ippon. The stalls o f plants,
