I do not believe either Clithe­ roe or the Ribble Valley need large scale housing estates. We do-not have the infra­ structure to accept thousands of new homes designed to accommodate a population overspill from inner cities. A few hundred extra houses for local residents wishing' to live in'their own property are all we need.

THERE was a surprise in store for classically trained violin­ ist Gayrior Sutcliffe, when she was invited to attend the Brit­ ish Country Music Awards cer­ emony at a packed Concorde


Club at Heathrow. ■ Not only were the Clitheroe-


based Swing Commanders, now recognised as Europe’s premier Western swing quintet, nominat­ ed for the award of Entertainers of the Year, but the band’s multi­ instrumentalist Gaynor was also proposed as 2011’s Musician of the Year. The nomination was in recog­


nition of Gaynor’s leading role in The Swing Commanders’ recent successes across Britain, Amer­ ica, Holland, Belgium, France and soon, no doubt, Spain, where they have been invited to perform at the prestigious Gijon Film Festival. Though competition was fierce


- including fellow Swing Com­ mander Simon Brady, who won last year’s award — Gaynor was chosen for her outstanding ability on not only violin, but also piano accordion, keyboard, double bass and even trombone! When the judges also took into


account her solo and harmony vocals, not to mention a touch of Hollywood in her intricate tap dancing routines, perhaps they had little choice but to pick as winner a female artiste of such outstanding talent in what has, for many years, been very much a male-dominated
