formed as a result of all- year-round practising and featured the school's string, brass and five recorder groups, as well as a number of instrumental soloists. Staff members Mrs Catherine Keane, Mrs Mary Bratt and Mrs Vivien Baker, who is cur rently on maternity leave, spent many hours teaching the youngsters, and Miss Emma Harrison, who is covering Mrs Baker's absence, accompanied the choir. Lancashire dialect
poems were also read by some of the children, including some written by published poet Micko Pleasington, who is Mrs Keane's father. As well as practising for
the school's annual musical event, the youngsters have also had success in the recent Blackburn Music Festival, the West Pennine Festival and a similar event held in Fleetwood last Sep tember, bringing numerous trophies back to Langho. Mrs Baker commented:

movement. After "Chrysanthe

Nigel Gaze delighted us with piano solos by Domenico Scarlatti, (including the famous "Cat’s Fugue") and Beethoven, again display ing his great fluency at the keyboard.

UNFOLDING drama in the village hall silenced a capacity Whalley audience. I t was played out by
members of the newly- formed theatre group, the Village Hall Players, whose stage debut took the form of two mono logues and a series of four mini-playlets. The performances were
produced by well-known amateur dramatist Dorothy Duckworth, who agreed to come out of retirement to work with
the cast (pictured). They had responded to a
call for would-be Whalley thespians, made by group fouftder Mrs Grace Gem- mell, also a recognised character in local drama
circles. With plans to stage a
music hall-type variety show in the autumn, Mrs Gemmell wants more new cast and crew members, particularly men, to come
forward. She can be contacted on
