PRODUCING consistently good stage shows costs a great deal of moh- ■ ; ey today, particularly for amateur so-


; ■ V


■ icieties. „ ■ - : So to help provide funds for future pro- , . • ductions- but mostly to entertain their ■ audiences and. supporters - Clitheroe;


i i Parish Church Amateur. Operatic and ; Dramatic Society is staging a musical cel-. . ebration of its shows presented since the . millennium.' “ ' ’ .


' , ; Performances of the aptly-titled-“Cele-


:: brateTheNoughties” show will take place ; . May 20th, 21st and 22nd May at 7-30 p.m.. ; in the St Maty’s Centre, in Church Street,. : Clitheroe. Revisiting the finest moments

; .Girli’My Fair Lady, Singin’: In The Rain and Sweet Charity.


choreo­


graphed by Lindsay Pollard, and with the support of accompanist Philip Dobson and a small but talented group of musi-


V ’Cians, this is definitely a show worth see­ ing and hearing.

IM S S IU lM n


UP AND COMING Australian band Blackchords will play at Keystreet in Clit­ heroe over the May Bank Holiday week­ end.


v: Due to release their second single “Pretty Little Thing’’ from their self-titled debut album in June, the song was named . track of the day by Q magazine, whose re­


viewer said: “You’ll be won over after one listen”. The Blackchords’ sound, which has


been compared to the likes of Bryan Ad­ ams, Elbow and Jeff Buckley, is crafted by lead singer and song-writer Nick Mil- vvnght. Influenced by his diverse life expe­ riences, Nick has been both a soldier and


:then incredibly, a ballet dancer, training . at one of Australia’s top dance schools.' ■ Unbelievably, it wasn’t until he was in : his twenties that,he felt ready to open his • mouth and sing. Blackchords was born


and they signed to.Dust Devil Music in 2008. .


. . '


, During their UK tour, as well as the'Sat- ! urday, May 30th gig at Keystreet, the Mel­ bourne quartet will also play the Liverpool ■ Sound City festival. Pretty Little Thing by Blackchords is out oh June 14th through . Dust Devil Music, www.bIackchords.com
