Yes, you can really have the body you desire in weeks, not years - guaranteed!


The New Year is fast approaching and I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you a phenomenal and prosperous start to 2008. Many of you will be making New Years resolutions that you do not keep; it’s the same story year after year. You can't stand it. I bet last January you vowed to lose weight and went on a diet. You lost several pounds over a period of months but now it's all come back and I bet a bit more. Don't feel bad. You are not alone. Thousands of people go on diets eyery year and lose weight only to gain it back later after they have stopped dieting. The difficulty in losing weight and keeping it off pushes many people to join a weight-loss program. If you are among those looking for a weight-loss program, be careful in your selection. Study the programs carefully and ask questions. It could make a difference as to how much weight you safely lose and whether you keep it off.


How do I know this? I know because I used to be one of those people. I used to be 17 stone until I made a decision to completely change my way of life. I spent years fighting my own personal body issues so I understand exactly how you feel and what you are going through I


wouldn’t look in the mirror or get on the scales because I didn’t like myself very much - I was 4 stone overweight, I definitely wasn’t happy and the information available was......... you’ve guessed it, confusing!!


I want you to understand just how close you are to your dreams right now................... just take a look at Anne. She achieved her goal and the body that she desired. My promise to you at this moment is to create some clarity; to dispel all of the contradiction and conflicting information that you read everyday and to tell you the truth as I know it to be. I’m going to help you with the years of knowledge, skills and abilities that I have developed working with real people to help you achieve your goals and most importantly to ensure that you maintain and sustain them, you see we design a nutrition and fitness program that is tailored exactly to your needs.

HERE are probably three stages in our lives when a key concern becomes whether


Upsidaisy really is safe or even a


.good role model - a bachelor girl liv­ ing alone, dragging her bed round the forest, kissing everyone in sight, including theTombliboos. Igglepiggle seems a decent chap,


but can he be trusted? After all, he carries his red blanket everywhere - just in case it is his lucky day? Yes, indeed, CBeebies, we are 'In the Night Garden',’ at my age


more appropriately described as The Twilight Zone',' when only


divine intervention can save us from our own growing confusion and shrinking memory. Fortunately, in my case last


month it was editorial intervention - which is divine enough for me - that prevented me from denying one of Britain's top composers the credit for creating "March Slaidburn',' which put the village on the World music map.


A native of Southport and known


as "The March King',' William Rim- mer, who died in 1936, visited Slaid­ burn to recuperate from illness. He was so overwhelmed by the


hospitality during his stay that not only did he work with the band, but on his return home also wrote the specially commissioned march that is now world famous.


However, it struck me that for an area with a rich musical heritage like


_ i music. How we love to say of musicians:


the Ribble Valley, it is very difficult to find anyone who has achieved national recognition in the field of


ACROSS


"I knew him/her when..." I can actually do that of Bob Elliot


of The Hollies, because we caught the same bus to school for years. But that was on the other side of Pendle! Is former "Mindbender" Pete


Barton the Valley’s only celebrity from that era? Can we include Chip­ ping's Richard Mitchell, who com­ posed the theme tune for ITV's cov­ erage of the 1988 Olympics? Obviously there have been


famous guests, such as Kathleen Ferrier, who joined the choir at the Weslyan Church in 1946 to perform "The Messiah’,’ and a multitude of performers attracted by Clitheroe’s jazz festivals in the '60s, pop and rock festivals in the '70s, folk festi­ vals in the '90s and the current Great Days festivals, not to mention the enduring, prestigious Ribch- ester Festival.


Big band But this is the home of the


Clitheroe Brass Band Company where, in 1889, reed bands, flute bands, fife and drum bands, as well as brass bands, with names like the Temperance, Volunteer, Catholic, Moderation and Primrose, all blew hot before finally going cold! It was also the home of count­


less, spacious sprung floors on which dancers swung to the big band sound of orchestras like Frank Tingle's, forced to disband by the Second World War, but not before it launched 14-year-old Stan Barker, Clitheroe's greatest contribution to the international jazz scene, who before his death in 1997 played piano with such swing icons as Duke Ellington and Count Basie. It is perhaps time then that a new


band emerged to international acclaim - and that could well be the swing sextet that will be the first British band to feature at one of America's top niche musical events. The Legends of Western Swing Festival at Wichita Falls, Texas, in June, 2008. It is, of course, the Clitheroe-


based Swing Commanders, who having emerged as the sensation of the British Country and Western scene only three years ago, were recently described in the music press as "by some considerable margin the UK's best live 'a good time was had by all' band." Members of the band, fronted by


charismatic vocalist Peter Riley, have this year survived a spiky skir­ mish with Simon Cowell and his fel­ low judges on "Britain's Got Talent’,’ as well as a major change of per­ sonnel, to record two CDs at Sham­ rock Studios, Osbaldeston. These now receive extensive air-time in both Europe and America. A former leader of the Lancashire


Students Symphony Orchestra, Gaynor Sutcliffe has evolved into the acknowledged queen of UK country fiddle, while the addition of the multi-instrumentalists and close harmony vocalists, the Laverne Sis­ ters, has added a new dimension to the band’s repertoire of memorable music from the '30s, '40s and '50s. With local mandolin maestro,


"Champion" Simon Brady and big band percussionist, "Doctor" Mark Warburton now in the line-up, the Swing Commanders offer a rich vari­ ety of Western swing, country, '40s swing, jazz and Latin that has captivated listeners and dancers alike throughout the UK this year. Following their debut at the


Northern version of the Royal Vari­ ety Show at the Palace Theatre, Manchester, the band must focus on the logistics of a 10-day tour of Texas, which takes in all the main cities. The venues are as diverse as Flores Country Store and Sam’s Burger Bar in San Antone. Fortunately, the legendary Texan


hospitality and reverence for their performers will ensure that they go short of nothing - including even instruments for the whole band - although exotic shopping opportuni­ ties will doubtless ensure that none of the generous performing fees actually leave Texas! However, it will prove an ideal


opportunity to take the British cream of Texas swing to Texas itself and not only mix with some of the greats of American country music, but also share a stage with such mysterious bands as Pee Wee Whitewing with theTimewarp Tophands.


Timewarp They may even discover what


timewarp tophands actually are, although I cannot imagine that they would be much use in Slaidburn! Only time will tell what effect


their American adventure will have on the international future of the Swing Commanders, but I will leave the last word on their current level of performance to another review from the music press. "You do not just get a night out at


the club - you get a full show. And what an exuberant show, demon­ strating extreme musical talents, charm and charisma, fun and pure entertainment." Or in my case - just a song at twi­


light! >
