For the jet-setting


teenager, a visit to his par­ ents, Mr Malcolm and Mrs Karen Weaving, a t their home in the Ribble Valley was a brief stopover before his next assignment, which will take him later this month to the Austrian cap­ ital, Vienna, where he will be helping Elton John. On May 24th, 19-year-

Countdown begins to Valley’s ever-popular three days of fun


T H E countdown ha s begun to th e Clitheroe G reat D ays Festival. Now in its eighth year and poised


for expansion, th e festival, which takes place over the three days June 6th, 7th and 8th, has been awarded non-profitmaking charitable status and has received a Rural Develop­ ment Grant. The allocation of charitable status


has come too late for this year, but it will increase the range of funding bodies and foundations which can be approached for financial support in the future. The grant received from Lancashire


Clitheroe Great Day of Folk. I t was a single day event with a clear folk music and dance focus. The following year, an "Arts Express" lottery grant enabled expansion to a weekend festival and a further "Awards for All" lottery grant in 2000 funded a Millennium World Music Day, which involved Chinese Lion Dancers, a steel band and African drummers entertaining the crowds on the traditional Saturday afternoon clo­ sure of Castle Street. The festival is now organised by a

Prior to this year's festival, there will


be a performance by the Horse and Bamboo Theatre Company, one of the United Kingdom's leading touring the­ atre companies. The company will be performing Company of Angels - the Story Of Charlotte Salmon, in Clitheroe on May 25th at the Parish Hall. During the following two weeks, the theatre will be hosting a residency with members of Ribble Valley Youth Theatre and Bow- land Youth Group, which will culminate in a public street performance at the Clitheroe Great Days Festival. During the foot and mouth crisis of


2001, the festival went ahead when other green-field ones were forced to cancel. The crisis had an impact on rev­ enue, and a couple of lean years followed


when there was less money available for "extras" to the concert programme, such as professional street entertainment on the Saturday. Important developments still went ahead, including an open-air concert by Clitheroe Town Band on the Sunday, a choirs concert at the Grand, plus the Town Crier Competition, enabling the event to make a bigger splash on the regional calendar. The committee hopes to develop the

programme of street entertainment to include more varied performances and possibly to take place on Sunday as well. In recent years, many visitors and resi­ dents have asked on the Sunday about the activities and events only to be told that they have already missed the main festival day.

sance of local newspapers in this coun­ try. The best of our local papers - and there are many, many examples cover­ ing from our biggest cities to our most rural areas - play a vital role in reflect­ ing and building the unique character and values of the community they serve. This growing sense of community


drives a growing thirst for local news and information and strengthens the role of Britain's 1,300 regional and local newspapers. Our regional press, of course, remains the backbone of this country's media with 40 million people reading their local paper every week.


tance of local newspapers to them and their communities: They know local papers are more trusted than any other media because you are much closer to your readers who hold you to account for what you publish. Campaigning and effective local


papers also help us do our jobs better, ensuring we don't lose sight of the issues that matter. They help, too, to hold us to account for what we do and what we don't. It's part of the reason why healthy


local papers are so important both to a healthy democracy and vibrant communities. And it 's why I'm delighted to give my support and con­ gratulations to all local papers and their readers during ‘Local Newspa­ per Week’.”
