to Jennie perform at Clitheroe Parish Church. A former pupil of Westholme School, Jennie is currently in the final year of her degree at the Royal College of Music in London. Highly Commend­ ed in the RCM Lieder Competition, she


has been offered a place to study at the RCM for a Masters in Performance. Accompanied by pianist Richard

CHARLIE Liggett had been" on three trips to Russia to ob- serve-35 species of birds in the
