Children s pet puppets!


iJ?v


YEAR 5 pupils at Waddington and West Bradford School recently spent a day with professional puppeteer Mike Hares making animal puppets. Mike worked with 21 pupils who


all dressed in old clothes so they did­ n’t get covered in glue and paint. Every pupil made a “pet” puppet, which will be displayed at the Plat­ form Gallery in their “Village Art Show” exhibition from June 2nd to 13th.

Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, May 21st, 2009 21 Moo-ving music for milking! by Hannah Ramsden


THE hills of Sabden came alive with the sound of opera music as an Italian tenor per­ formed to a rather different audience - a herd of cows. Marcello Bedoni, who is more


used to performing in front of packed concert halls across Europe, jetted in from Frank­ furt in Germany to Cockshotts Farm for the wacky performance to the 50-strong dairy herd in a bid to improve their milk pro­ ductivity. The musical extravaganza


with a twist in the village coun­ tryside was held ahead of the relaunch of a 100-year-old brand of ice-cream “Federici's” created by Antonio Federici, who claimed opera music was an essential ingredient to his recipe. He was convinced that it stim­


ulated the production of creami­ er milk and created a happy working environment. The Friesian cows were treat­


ed to renditions of “Amore ti vieta” by Giordano and “E luce-


van le stelle” by Puccini during f KA..Qn_miTmfo />nnnorf-.Kv.TUTQr_.


born calf Bedoni in his honour. “They say singing to the cows


helps them to relax.”. Mr Gill, whose family have


been farming in the Ribble Val­ ley since 1932, is one of several farmers from the area whose cows produce milk for the Bow- land Fresh brand. Marcello said: “The cows are


such gentle beasts and have a good ear for opera. I put togeth­ er a special repertoire for my audience including soothing arias and Neopolitan songs. 1 steered clear of rousing numbers like Wagner and Carmina Burana." Mr Frank Frederick, grand­


son of Antonio Federici, said: "My grandfather always sang to the cows before milking and in our quest to recreate the gelato my b ro th e r and I enjoyed as children, we are sticking faith­ fully to his recipe. “The cows will enjoy the


. recital and this will be reflected in the quality of the milk they produce for us. The passion of the music will be reflected in the product. “We also plan to stage opera performances within the Federi-


OPERA star Marccio Bedoni'
