CLARINETTIST William Stafford and pianist ■ Nigel Spooner delighted members of Ciitheroe Concert Society with a wonderful performance. Both artists are well-known in Ciitheroe.


William was a student at Ciitheroe Royal Gram­ mar School before electing to read music at the University of Manchester and to study clarinet with Nicholas Cox, principal clarinet with the


Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, at the Royal Northern College of Music, where he is now in his second year. Nigel Spooner is well-known locally as deputy


headmaster and head of sixth form at the gram­ mar school from 1997 until 2003, having taught in secondary schools for more than 20 years. Now a freelance musician, he pursues a life as a con­


cert pianist and organist, as well as examining for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, which took him to Indonesia last summer and will see him in Malaysia and Hong Kong this


year. Nigel conducts the CRGS Swing Band and ■ ■. ' ■


plays as organist on the BBC Daily Service and also at Longridge Parish Church.


Their programme for the Concerts Society


included the second sonata for clarinet and piano in E flat by Johannes Brahms, four pieces for clarinet with piano accompaniment by Alban Berg, demonstrating innovative modulations, the Premiere Rhapsodie by Claude Debussy, and John Ireland’s Fantasy-Sonata in E flat. Piano solos were Deux Arabesques, by


Debussy, and Liebesfreude, by Fritz


’ Kreisler, transcribed for piano solo by Rach­ maninov.


At the close of the concert, resounding


applause from the audience brought the artists back on stage several times and they obliged by giving an encore, a delicate and light-hearted piece, ensuring that the audi­ ence left the hall in high spirits. There are .two concerts still to come for

Record numbers visit jobs fair


by Duncan Smith


A RECORD number of Ribble Valley teenagers expressed interest in escap­ ing the classroom in favour of more hands-on training, as they attended a successful jobs event. Held by Training 2000, the North


West’s leading training provider, the two- day event attracted more than 700 young people who met local employers and had the opportunity to discuss the jobs they have available.


x Castle Cement, from Ciitheroe, was one


of the companies which attended the event to talk to interested attendees. Steve Gray, chief executive of Training


2000, began his career as an apprentice at Ribble Motors in Preston. He said: “We were thrilled with the


response to this year’s jobs event, which was attended by a record number of ambi­ tious teenagers looking to kick-start their careers. “With more than 300 applications

received, many of this year’s vacancies will be filled as a direct result of this event. “Those who were not able to attend


shouldn’t worry, though. By the end of this year, we will have placed over 700 appren­ tices, and people can still get involved by visiting our website and applying online, or by speaking to us directly.” Training 2000 offers apprenticeships


which help provide young people with quality local employment, while at the same time receiving a wage and working towards a range of qualifications. The areas they cover include business, automo­ tive, construction, engineering, dental nursing, and health care. Anyone interested in finding out more


about apprenticeships should phone 0845 6042000 or visit www.t2k.org.uk for more information. Our picture shows young Castle Cement


employees Oliver Nuttall (17), Philip Woodruff (19), and Glen Dinsdale (19)^ helping to promote apprenticeships at the successful jobs fair, (s)
