Chance to win Martin Brannigan goodies f " \


IRISH singer and gifted fiddle and guitar player Martin Brannigan has built up a strong following over his many years' on the music scene. Later this month his fans will flock, to St Helens, where


he is appearing at The Theatre Royal with country music band The Haleys arid comedy host Stu Francis. Born in Castlehlariey.’rlreiand,. Martin had music in his


blood from an early age,;whether it. was the traditional Irish melodies played and sung by his family and their friends or the rock ’n roll he found on the family’s radio. In 1959 his family moved to Preston and Martin has


done a variety of jobs while waiting for his dream of a career in the music business to come true. That started to happen in 1999 with the release of his


first album, The Answer. Since then two more - My Moments with You and In


This Life - have been released to growing acclaim. His broad appeal spans the generations and those at


his gigs can expect a diverse mix of country music with an Irish flavour and some exceptional ballads, plus the odd rousing fiddle tune thrown in for good measure. Martin is currently working on a fourth album as well


as touring the U.K. His St Helens show starts at 8 p.m. on November 27th.


For ticket prices and availability, call the Theatre Royal box office on 01744 756000. We have a set of all three Martin Brannigan CDs, plus


two runner-up prizes of his latest single, “Daughter of Mine” to give away. To enter, see the coupon below.


Final organ society concert on Saturday


THE final Organ Society Concert before Christmas takes place on Saturday at 7-30pm in Clitheroe Parish Church and features locally-born organist Dr Tim Rishton. Since his acclaimed City of London debut at age 18,


Tim has enjoyed a distinguished international career as concert organist, broadcaster, author and lecturer, also holding professional posts at Norwegian and British Uni­ versities. He studied with Susi Jeans and at the universities of


Reading, Manchester and Wales. It was at the Universi­ ty of Wales where he took a doctorate in Eighteenth Cen­ tury music and later lectured. His programme on Saturday will reflect his Norwegian


and Brazilian interests and will feature folk-song arrange­ ments from both countries as well as some popular works by Bach and Vivaldi. Although best known for the German Baroque reper­


toire, his performances have ranged from Poulenc’s organ concerto and Eighteenth Century British concertos to Bach’s complete organ works, and from Franz Schmidt at the Royal College of Organists to Scandinavian music at the Nordlands Festival. This year he is playing a host of European dates, and


despite forthcoming international engagements in Spain and the USA he is happiest when playing at home in Pen- dle and the Ribble Valley! He has given lectures and master classes in Norwegian,


English and Welsh, several of them broadcast, and also at a host of universities. He has made regular radio and television broadcasts, on the Norwegian channel NRK, as well as on HTV, S4C and the BBC - most recently BBCl’s televised Christmas service. Tim has made a number of solo recordings, as well as recordings with Aled Jones, Simon Roberts and others.


. He is currently recording a CD of Italian Baroque’ music, a double CD of Bach’s Art of Fugue, and preparing a CD of Norwegian organ music. As well as published organ music and many articles in


scholarly journals and in Grove’s Dictionary, and its Ger­ man equivalent MGG, Tim has written a number of books, one of which has been translated from Norwegian into various languages. His latest book is due out early next year.


Join in the Christmas spirit and have some friendly fun


IF pantomime is not your thing and you would rather take the kids to see a show you will enjoy as much as them, the Bolton’s Octa­ gon Theatre has the answer. It is staging the Roald Dahl clas­


sic “The B.F.G.” for Christmas. ■ Like much of. Dahl’s work, it is


adored by children, but also appeals to adults, not least through its delightfully jumbled language and innocent, childlike charm. One night a giant steals little


orphan Sophie from her bed. But this is no ordinary, scary child-eat­ ing giantl He’s Big and Friendly (hence the B.F.G. j, he eats disgust- ingTsridzzcumbers,’drinks whiz- zpopping-inducirig frobscottle and every night he blows lovely dreams into the bedrooms of sleeping chid- dlers. Sophie and the B.F.G. soon


become the best of friends. When a gaggle of nasty giants visit Eng­ land to eat some children, Sophie and The B.F.G. hatch a clever plan to stop them, joining forces with a very important person - the Queen of England herself I With an accomplished cast and


featuring original music, dynamic puppetry and an ingenious set, The B.F.G. promises to be a real Christ­ mas treat. It runs at the Octagon from


November 28th to January 10th and has morining, matinee and evening performances. There are also special discounts for family tickets, schools and group book­ ings.

Artists are set to take part in a prestigious exhibition


TWO Ribble Valley artists are taking part in a prestigious pre- Christmas exhibition about to open in Ilkley. Organised by the British


Watercolour Society, the exhibi­ tion opens at the King’s Hall and Winter Gardens, Ilkley, on Satur­ day, at lLa.m. and runs until a


.week on Sunday. It.will feature around,1,250 original paintings by 175 artists.; ' ■


Y Among,those exhibiting are ,Jean H o lt ; 'o f Manor Fields, Whalley, and Susan Tattersall; of Bawdlands, .Clitheroe.


. Susan, a self-taught artist who gave up teaching to paint and make cards full-time, has exhibit­ ed at Ilkley,16 times befwe.


j t w w She exhibits throughout the


North-West and also puts her teaching experience to good use as an adult education tutor in watercolour painting. Her paintings on show in Ilkley


include scenes from St Tropez, Provence and Venice. Jean Holt works in oils, pastels


and watercolours and has also had workt displayed across the region,'' both-in exhibitions and galleries.r':v' ' ' ju-nil It is only her second exhibition


at Ilkley, where her work will include portraits of Ben Hogan and Geoff Boycott, and pictures titled “Walk on the .Wild Side”, and “Midsummer N ig h t ’s Dream”.


Still a lot


of interest IT is that time of year again. Yes, the 2003 Beaujolais Nouveau is here today. Philip and I will be driving up overnight


from


Romaneche-Thorin and should be home to open up the shop at 8-


30 a.m. (only joking). Sales are not quite


what they used to be in the heady days of selling over a palate in the one day, but there is still a certain amount of inter­ est. This year has been a


very good one and we have gone for GEORGES DUBOEUF (The King of Beaujolais) 2003 NOU­ VEAU at £5.89. The wine is very fruity and easy drinking, I always enjoy a bottle with grilled lamb chops. New this year is 2003


Tcrrazze Della Luna Novel- lo di Teroldego at £4.99 from Trentino, in North­ ern Italy. This fragrant and youthful wine is love­ ly and fruity and is quite delicte and smooth on the palate. Ideal accompaniment to


light dishes and pasta (you might catch this wine on Sky’s food programme today).
