approached about Hollie singing at a VIP ball in Bali, Indonesia. I t ’s early days at the moment.” Nina said if Hollie, who has signed


with manager Steven Howard from top agency TCB, is not offered a record deal within the next month, the family might look into getting sponsorship to help her pursue her dream of singing on her own album. . • “Christmas would be the best time for'


Hollie to release'an album because i t . would suit her voice, but it is so expen­ sive. It would make a really good Christ­ mas gift for someone. . ■ “She recently had a letter from an 81- =

IT promises to be a memorable weekend for Glitheroe-based sextet The Swing • Gommanders as they begin their first


European mini-tour. ■ Tomorrow (Friday) they cross the


Ghannel after their debut at The Gon- corde, Southampton's prestigious jazz club, heading for Paris’s “Gaveau de l a . Huchette”. A medieval “cave” in the


city's Latin quarter, it has, over the p a s t . 60 years,- hosted many of the world’s greatest jazz and swing artists and rep­ resents the peak of the Paris jazz scene. ,,


- On Saturday, the band drive into Bel-, gium for an evening gig a t Bruges' “Cac-


• tus Muziec Gentrum”, before travelling overnight to Oosterhoot for a return to


' Holland’s top country music festival, “Floralia”. Having established them-,


selves there last Summer as Europe’s , . best Western Swing band, this year they share top billing with some of the top names from the American country scene. • However, Glitheroe will not be neg-^ ■ lected during the tour. They will be. : spreading the word about their “home ^ , town” as their latest GD, “Live at The - - Grand’! will be on sale at each gig. ' Each concert will also feature the lat­


est addition to the band’s playlist, a . song called “Glitheroe”, written by band leader Peter R i l e y . ....... . . • After last year’s triumphant tour of : • Texas and their recent concert in the ■ Isle of Wight, recorded for British tele- ■ vision, these are busy times for.The .. Swing Gommanders! • ■
