LAUNCHED on an unsuspecting puplic “after too many years”, Clitheroe singer- songwriter Gary Sinks’ debut CD is a breath of fresh air in the all-too-polluted world of commercial pop. Quirky, catchy and full of life, his songs


draw inspiration from a ■wide variety of influences, but are impossible to pigeon­ hole alongside any single o n e .. ■ Aptly entitled “An Exception to the


Rule”, his debut CD is a collection of 11 entirely self-penned songs, delivered by Gary on guitars and lead vocals with backing from an eclectic mix of friends and fellow musicians. Here is someone who considers song­


writing a craft and has served an appren­ ticeship studying the masters -


the likes


of Elvis Costello, Richard Thompson and Bacharach and David. He doesn’t copy any of them, but uses the tools they gave him to craft his own distinctive work. The resulting songs have drawn wide praise, not least from Led Zep and

“Leltice and Lovage” Ribchester Amateur Theatrical Society (RATS)


FOR anyone who has cringed a t the improb­ able stories told by tour guides a t stately homes, Peter Shaffer’s comedy “Lettice and


Lovage” was a delight. The author is better known for “Equus” and


“Amadeus”, but -wrote “Lettice and Lovage” for Dame Maggie Smith to perform the lead character. Directed by Robin Simmons, the play provoked belly laughs from the audience and was a perfect way to enjoy a summer’s evening in the Parochial Hall. It be^ns in Fustian House. As its name sug­


gests, it is a dreary, fusty 16th-Century hall (marvellously represented by John Sharpies’, Alex Milne’s and Tim Watts’ set designs). The rain-drenched tourists who have paid to


visit the hall in Wiltshire are clearly bored and miserabla The main character, Lettice Douf- fet, is a middle-aged woman living in the past. Played in a wonderfully over-the-top way by Deb Groves, Lettice has a tendency to over­ exaggerate everything she does. She has been

fired from many jobs as a tour guide because, instead of offering the plain and simple facts of history, she alters them into magnificent his­ torical pieces to make them more exciting. True to form, as a tour guide at the rather, dull Fustian House, Lettice decides to liven up her tour lecture and creates an imaginative and far more interesting past for the stately home. The tourists are jolted from their reveries


and thoroughly enraptured by her tale. Some days later, Lettice is once again telling the "his­ tory” of the hall, only her tale has become even more fanciful and grandiose. She is filled with confidence and the (larger) audience of excited tourists hangs on her every word. Lettice is challenged by a disagreeable fellow, played by John Royle, who demands to see her references for the story. She successfully averts his ques­ tions, much to the enjoyment of the rest of the


crowd. Subsequently, Lettice is confronted by an


inspector from the Preservation Trust, Lotte (Charlotte) Schoen, a conservative, middle- aged woman played admirably by Sue Cron-

Even though the two seem to be complete opposites they do have one thing in common - their love for history. Lotte, just like Lettice, believes th at the past was a thing of beauty and the two very different women discover similarities in their very dif­ ferent personalities, including a dislike for all things modem.
