--THE VILLAGE (12A); The Grand Cinema; from tomorrow


FOR those who like a fright, “The Village” is a period-costume chiller from director M. Night Shyamalan. The action centres on


the remote village commu­ nity of Covington, Penn­ sylvania, whose little col­ lection of farm dwellings, clapboard houses and church is surrounded by a dark and mysterious forest in which horrifying crea­ tures are said to live, and can be heard howling at night. The villagers are ruled


over by a committee of religious elders, who have evidently brokered a deal with the woodland beasts. As long as no human ven­ tures out into their domain, no monsters will come into the village. However, the humans


must suppress all signs of the colour red, for it sends


the forest creatures into a murderous rage. All red clothes are forbidden and red berries must be hastily buried. But, after the tragic


death of a child, villager Lucius (Joaquin Phoenix) - an intense young fellow and a man of few words -


te lls the elders th a t he wants to journey through the forest to reach the rumoured towns beyond, where they have modern amenities that might have saved the infant. Shyamalan made his


reputation with stylish breakthrough movies “The Sixth Sense” and “Unbreakable”, both star­ ring Bruce Willis. Reviews for “The Vil­


lage” have been mixed, but the director will still sur­ prise you with his trade­ mark twist.

BUILDING on the tremendous success of the recent performance by the Houghton Weavers, Clitheroe's St Mary's Centre again hosted a capacity audience on Friday for an evening with top local quintet the Swing Commanders. After recent performances at Colne


Blues Festival and on Radio Lancashire, the band attracted fans from across the county for their first appearance at this new theatre venue. Fresh from their debut at London's his­


toric 100 Club, the Swing Commanders were clearly inspired by their return to_ home ground, with over two hours of swing, blues, Latin and country of the highest quality. Also, supported by some of Manch­


ester's finest traditional jivers in genuine '50s attire, they proved th a t when Beethoven rolls over, good old rock ‘n’ roll can still pack the dance floor. Though Clitheroe's many dance halls


are long gone, it was an occasion to bring back fond memories of the days of such popular venues as the Mecca, Astoria and


Imperial. Nobody was disappointed with this


high-octane performance that offered something for all tastes and ages. Few performers can currently match “com-


mander-in chief” Peter Riley, for sheer vocal quality or showmanship, as he leads this talented quintet through such a diverse range of musical genres. Few groups can boast a steel guitar,


sparkling pink cocktail drums, a left handed bass player, or a mini-skirted “fid­ dle chick” who only this year quit the classical concert stage to make a terrific impact in the world of swing. With regular shows now planned for


the St Mary's Centre, it has the facilities and atmosphere to develop as the popular multi-purpose entertainment venue clear­ ly lacking in the Ribble Valley for so long. Our picture shows the St Mary’s Cen­


tre rocking and rolling to the infectious Swing Commanders’ beat, (s)
