MUSICIANS, street entertain­ ers, dancers and town criers con­ verged on Clitheroe to provide


great days over the weekend. With a line-up including Risky

Business, Les Barker and Scolds Bri­ dle, the Valley's seventh annual Great Days Festival proved to be a definite hit. The three-day event got under way


on Friday night with headliners the Bushburys getting audience members


; on their feet. On Saturday, the carnival came to


town with performances from many festival favourites, including Flag ’ Crackers o f Craven, a group well- known for its eye-catching costumes, Blowjangles, and the Moon de Lune


• duo. With dancers, jugglers, stilt walk­ ers and fire-eaters adding to the excite-


■ ment in Castle Street, and at a variety of indoor venues, there was certainly something for all the family. The musical stars of Saturday night were female vocalists Chris While and


; Julie Matthews, a duo who are thought to be the premiere female folk act of the moment. As well as appear­ ing on the Clitheroe stage at the

staged on Sunday evening and saw the John Wright Band headlining. Anoth­ er of this year's festival highlights was "Life Up Your Hearts", a free concert which took place at Clitheroe's Grand Cinema on Sunday at lunchtime. Three choirs, from Blackburn, More- ’ cambe and Darwen, performed a range


‘Superb, with all , kinds of music’


WE wish to say a very big thank you to all involved in the Great Days Festival weekend; it was superb, with all kinds of music and lotsof talent. I just wonder why the people of

of music from old classics such as "Blue Moon" to more modem pop. Sunday also featured Clitheroe's


Town Crier Competition, staged as part of the festival for the first time, with criers from across the country competing for the Lancashire Crying Cup. Unfortunately, Sunday's wet weath­


er forced the cancellation of a perfor­ mance by members of Clitheroe Town Band at the Castle gates but, with street entertainment and music from the artists who performed at the vari­ ous concert venues across Clitheroe,. there was plenty for all to enjoy. As well as the music to listen to, fes­


tival organisers also made sure there was an opportunity for members of the public to take part in workshops staged by Folkus, the Folk Arts Net­ work of the North-West, which looked at a variety of different instruments. With this year's festival proving to


be a success despite sometimes damp conditions, event organisers say they are already looking forward to next year.
