Jealousy led to assault


A 23-YEAR-OLD Clitheroe man headbutted his girlfriend during a drink-fuelled argu­ ment sparked by his jealousy. Blackburn magistrates heard


the victim called police, but then refused to make a state­ ment against Adam Chadwick. But, when questioned by the police he admitted what he had done. Chadwick, of Moor Lane,


Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to assault. He was sentenced to eight weeks in prison suspend­ ed for two years and made sub­


ject to community supervision for 18 months, with a condition that he attends the domestic violence programme. Mr Alex Mann (prosecut­


ing) said Chadwick accepted that he had drunk about 12 cans of cider. He said his girl­ friend had cheated on him last year and when he was drinking this played on his mind. Mr S te p h e n B a rk e r


(defending) said the only ver-' sion of events provided to the police was the one Chadwick had given. “His partner said she didn’t


want to put any facts forward and didn’t want to take any action against him,” said Mr Barker. “He is very remorseful about


what took place. She had a brief relationship with anoth­ er man last autumn and that appears to be the catalyst to trouble between them.”

Neil’s ‘orchestra’ is streets ahead


MUSIC graduate N e il Balfour has filled his street with a “cloud of sound” to create a work of art. The 22-year-old former


Clitheroe Royal Grammar School student asked all his neighbours to play pre­ recorded sounds, created by synthesisers, on CD players, iPods, car stereos or TVs near their doorways at precisely 7 p.m. When they agreed, Beechwood Mount, in Burley Park, Leeds, came alive with a unique sound of music. Neil, a BA music (clas­


sical) graduate o f Leeds College o f Music, was in­ spired by the music heard coming from houses at vari­ ous times of day and night. His aim was “to create art and unify a street”. He said: “It was not


designed to create complaints or aggravate neighbours who may have complained about your music in the past.” In the ‘performance’.


"m u s ic MAN: Neil

people were led to hear rain, thunder and waterfalls, and others aeroplanes and club beats. Only one person from the 35 houses in the street, three of which are empty, de­ clined to take part. Neil’s parents, David and


Honey Balfour, of The Sands, Whalley, went to hear Neil’s project. David said: “It was very


impressive and certainly dif­ ferent.” Neil, whose school life


began at Whalley Primary School, performs with pop orchestral band Arthur Rigby and the Baskervylles, and conducts his own orchestra. This month he also had the


role of Antonio, the drunken gardener, in Leeds College of Music’s production of Mozart’s opera The Marriage of Figaro, at Northern Ballet’s Studio Theatre in Leeds.
