Town rocks to Redding style music


ROCKERS at a Clitheroe music venue took an electric trip back to the swinging ’60s when they got down to the sounds of guitar legend Jimi Hendrix's bass player


and band. A packed Key Street


Music and Dance Bar, in Lowergate, Clitheroe, heaved to the pulsating chords of Noel Redding and his band, who played a marathon two and a half hour session on Sunday night. The gig was organised in


ding first met Hendrix at an audition for a rock band in England in 1966. The duo soon hit it off and within three years the Jimi Hendrix Experience had toured all over the world and recorded three classic albums. Despite his awesome rep­


utation, Key Street manag­ er Phil Knight found the bespectacled bass player "just your average down- to-earth kind of a guy." "He was really approach­

Also featured a t this mammoth amp-powered spectacular was Eric Bell of Irish hell-raiser band Thin Lizzy-fame, as well as Les Sampson, who has jammed with the likes of David Bowie, John Lennon and Ringo Starr. Folkestone born Red­


able. He sat a t the bar chatting with fans and signing autographs. He came across as just a nor­ mal guy who happens to make a living out of play­ ing guitars. It was a fantas­ tic night, though, and we hope to be booking more big names in the future. Watch this space," said

Landlord Harry on to a winner with article in licensed trade paper


A POPULAR and suc­ cessful Whalley land­ lord has hit the head­ lines in a top national


licensees' gazette. Captain Harry Barlow,


who, with his wife, Carol, runs the horse-themed Swan at Whalley Hotel, was the subject of a full- page, colour feature in The Publican Newspaper. The hotel has been nom­ inated for the publication's


annual awards in the "Marketing Pub of the Year" category, narrowly missing out on top spot last year, having finished


runner-up. This year, the retired


Army officer hopes to go one better. He was the sub­ ject of an article, in the trade-paper, focusing on the equestrian theme of the


hotel inspired by his love of


horses. The piece also looked at


the syndicate he set up, in which Swan regulars have bought shares in six race­ horses, one of which - Swan at Whalley - has been a consistent winner. Capt. Barlow was


m


delighted his establishment and passion for the turf were put in the media lime­ light. "It's a good write-up,


Lack of fire alarms puts lives at risk


TOO'many homes still have defective or no smoke alarms, according to Lan­ cashire County Fire Brigade. Research carried out by


the brigade shows that, out of more than 1,000 fires in dwellings throughout Lan­ cashire between January and July last year, 72% of all the homes did not have smoke alarms. Another 17% had smoke


alarms, which either had no batteries or discharged


ones in them. A spokesman for the


county fire brigade said: "Lives are being lost and needless injuries are caused because of the lack of an early warning a function­ ing smoke alarm can pro


vide." In a bid to remind people


to fit smoke alarms and to check them on a monthly basis, the brigade launched its Battery Bob campaign at the end of last year. By publicising the effects


of a fire and by getting sur­ vivors to emphasise the safety messages about smoke alarms and fire haz­ ards, it is hoped that the Battery Bob campaign, initiated by our sister newspaper, the Nelson Leader, will encourage peo­ ple to pay the small cost of an alarm, which could one day save their lives.

Wrong signal is sent to


young offenders — MP MP for the Ribble Val­ ley Mr Nigel Evans has condemned the Govern­ ment for sending out the wrong signals to young offenders by clos­ ing down the boot camp


at Colchester. Speaking during Home


Office questions in the House of Commons, Mr Evans said: "We have to make sure that young offenders know they are going to be dealt with severely, once they have been sentenced. I believe that boot camps are an excellent way of correcting the wayward behaviour of young offenders, who would otherwise be left to their own devices in young offender institutions, adult jails or even community ser­ vice programmes." Mr Evans claimed that


the Government had closed down the Colchester boot camp on the grounds of cost and accused Home Secre­ tary Mr Jack Straw of not seeing the merits of a hard physical regime coupled with increased education. He added: "I understand


that the boot camps are extremely effective and that the re-offending rates are among the lowest in the country. The victims of young offenders need to know that young thugs, who persistently commit crimes, feel the force of the law and pay a proper price to society. Without effective punishment, young thugs will think they have got


away with it. "The Government is mak


ing a mistake by dismissing these camps seemingly out of hand. The Home Secre­ tary must consider.

Industrial relics from the past highlighted


HIDDEN relics from the region's industrial past were uncovered for members of Clitheroe Probus Club. Guest speaker Mr Ken


the virtues of the "daugh­ ters of Rossendale".


Geddes highlighted the engineering skills of Victo­ rian forefathers, seen in the brick and stonework of local railway arches and canal tunnels, in a series of photographs. His collection included


pictures of an explosion in railway wagons emerging


from a tunnel near Little- borough, when tankers containing petrol caught fire and only the heroism of the train driver and his fire­ man, who disconnected wagons containing thou­ sands of gallons of fuel, prevented a major cata­ strophe. Also captured was a stone inscription in a nearby quarry, extolling

Andrew Chisholm pro­ posed a vote of thanks, complimenting the speaker on his underground pho­ tography and told those present how General Eisen- hower used the under­ ground quarry workings near Reigate as his wartime headquarters, before the invasion of Nor­ mandy in 1944.


Following questions, Mr


impressed by the way in which Mr Geddes had recorded the enterprise and expertise of local engineers through his collection, pre­ serving their feats for future generations.
