RAVE reviews have followed the world premiere of a new musical performed by pupils


from the Ribble Valley. A sell-out audience in London


honoured "Song of Creation" with a standing ovation and demanded an encore from the choir and musi­ cians of St Augustine's RC High School in Billington. ’"Song of Creation' is a truly


sive show of enthusiasm by the 2,000 people in the Festival Hall." The musical has been written by


magnificent work," said Mr Julian Filochowski, the (director of the Catholic Fund for Overseas Devel­ opment. "The pupils of St Augus­ tine's put on a fabulous perfor­ mance, a wonderful performance that was appreciated by the mas­

Parrot needs to learn ‘Wright’ address


FAMOUS Barrow Post Office parrot Coco is being given a new speaking task - learn­

earlier this year when he startled David and Susan Wilson’s customers by hail­ ing Ian Wright's arrival at Burnley. Last week he was learn­

"We are very fortunate that he was found, we under­ stand by a local doctor, and returned via the RSPCA," says Mr Wilson. "Now we are going to teach him the shop address, or even just the post code."

Mr Peter Rose, the head of music at St Augustine's, and Miss Anne Conlon, a senior teacher at SS Fish­ er-More RC High School in Colne. Previous musicals written by the talented duo have been backed by the Worldwide Fund For Nature, but "Song of Creation" is a collabo­ ration with the Catholic aid organ­ isation, Cafod. As well as being written to mark


the Millennium, the musical is being performed in a year which has been declared a Jubilee Year by the Catholic church in line with


biblical traditions when debts are cancelled, as has happened with some debts incurred by some Third

World countries. Speaking about Monday night's


premiere, Mr Filochowski added: "It is a glorious, inspiring and very fitting Jubilee Year celebration." And a delighted Mr Rose said:


"The soloists, choir and band were phenomenal and so professional. The soloists surpassed themselves, but I can’t mention individuals because they were all so good. "The school can be very proud of all of them, they were great ambas­


sadors for the Ribble Valley." ® Audiences in the north west

the grounds, though the police had still not arrived. A spokesperson for


Clitheroe police confirmed a call had been made at 8.56 a.m. on Tuesday telling them of the incident and said an officer went to investigate, but the group had already gone. The Clitheroe Advertiser


and Times telephoned Mr Stuart Holt, headmaster of the school, but he refused to comment on the incident.


Beckham haircut pupil goes back to Ribblesdale desk


SHORN schoolboy Gary Brunskill, of Central Avenue, Clitheroe, is back at his desk. Gary (15) was excluded


from Ribblesdale High School Technology College after his David Beckham- style haircut. But he was allowed to


return when a few days' growth brought him back


within school rules. Headteacher Ms Glynne Ward emphasised yesterday


that she had never suggest­


ed that Gary's absence would be long, as it was clear his skinhead cut would soon grow. "There is no problem with short hair," pointed out Ms Ward, who has calmly fielded numer­ ous calls from the national media and television sta­


tions this week. Gary's mother, Mrs


Michelle Brunskill, said she was delighted that he was resuming his education.

Lancaster’s windfall for worthy charities


as "The Grand", into a state-of-the-art cinema and


live arts theatre. The aeroplane bought by


the Lancasters last year has already become a real boon to missionary work throughout Africa and is still in action in Mozam­ bique, long after the big agencies have left. Undoubtedly, it is Africa,


its poverty and desperate need which has made a tremendous impact on the


family. "In the next 10 years,


there will be a lot of chil­ dren left without parents, due to Aids," said Mrs Rosemary Lancaster, adding that people in the country are so frightened by the increasing incidence of Aids, that babies are not just abandoned, but thrown away to be discovered too late in dustbins or bags. "The Salvation Army took one we saw in and he's doing great," she added. "Young girls get pregnant and fear that the baby will have Aids and that's it." Mrs Lancaster explained


that there were tests avail­ able to determine whether the babies had contracted Aids, the mothers were just not aware of the help that could.be made available. Following last year's visit,


to support the building of a school for counselling, sup­ port and education in Sowe­ to. The project would be completed in October, when the Lancasters hope to see it open. It is obvious that the cou­


ple have been deeply affect­ ed by their experiences in Africa and, said Mrs Lan­ caster, "we do not just want to give away money, we want to work with a part­ nership and get involved, financing projects where they can't get funds." And, after hearing about


the abandoned Aids threat­ ened babies, during a ser­ vice at St James's Church in Clitheroe, two close friends of the Lancasters were so moved that they have "adopted" the boy seen by the Lancasters, now five months old and whose African name means "Little Prince." The couple can obviously


see this kind of work snow­ balling. "We are thrilled to bits that we are able to do this for the charity. I attribute our success to a dedicated and committed workforce to whom I shall be forever grateful," said Mr Lancaster this week, adding: "We are privileged to be able to do all this at this sort of level."
