RIGOLETTO, a tale of • passion, kidnap, curses, seduction and murder comes to one


of Ribble Valle/s most historic houses next month. Heritage Opera will perform Verdi's dark


masterpiece in the wonderful period setting of Browsholme Hall; near Bashall Eaves, on Friday April 6th, beginning at 7-30 p.m. The debauched Duke of Mantua makes'a habit of seducing young maidens and his eye is taken by the lovely Cilda, whom he has seen whilst out on one of his many incognito jaunts. He misleads her into believing that he's a poor student.


- - . ; She happens to be the daughter of the


Duke's court jester, Rigoletto, who has kept her shielded from the sordid goings on at court. Things turn nasty when the Duke's


bench men kidnap Gilda in order that he might have his wicked way... To find out how the stoiy resolves, see


Hentage Opera, the Northwest's professional touring opera company, perform the piece in a new English translation at Browshbime. Tickets raneg in price from £10 for under-


IBs to £22 and can be booked online at www. heritageopera.co.uk or via the Browsholme Hall website (www.browsholme.com) which also has more information about the : Splendid venue and how to get there. A two-course supper is also available after the

by Tony Dewhurst


WHEN rock and roll was shaken from its pre­ punk complacency by the emergence of Dr Feelgood, it was their guitarist and founding member Wilko Johnson who excited most attention. So there is a real holiday treat in store for rock fans when Johnson performs with his own band at The Grand on Easter Saturday. Johnson's choppy guitar style and rich song


writing talent was the driving force behind Dr Feelgood's high octane live performances, with their first two albums, Down by The Jetty (1974) and Malpractice (1975), proving immensely popular. But it was Feelgood's breakthrough album. Stupidity, which topped the UK charts a year


later and gave Johnson and the lads from Canvey Island their first major LP hit After leaving Dr Feelgood, he formed the Wilko


Johnson band, also working with Ian Drury and the Blockheads. But for the last 25 years, accompanied by


bass guitarist Norman Watt-Roy and drummer Dylan Howe, Wilko's group have carved out a


listened to blues musicians, wonderful talents like Elmore James and Muddy Waters, and hearing them for the first tirhe was like magic - it changed eveiything," said Wilko. . "Up to then it had all been really drippy stuff - 'I wanna hold your hand' of whatever, and all


of sudden we were hearing this jno-edible music from America.


" •[ . . "Looking back, it was the Rolling Stones that


started all the interest in the blues over here." The list of 1970s New Wave bands who


acknowledge the influence of Wilko and the Feelgopds include The Clash, Sex Pistols, The Jam and The Ramones. Wilko added: "When 1 left the Feelgoods I


started meeting a lot of people - John Lydon, Joe Strummer... JearTJacques Brunei (The Stranglers), who used to share a flat with me. "I had Billy Idol sleeping on my floor! I think


a lot of them had been given an impetus by seeing the Feelgoods live." Recently, Johnson featured in Julien Temple's


Oil City Confidential; a feature film documentary about Dr Feelgood, while his autobiography, "Looking Back at Me", will be released next month. Meanwhile, following the sellout appearance of Two-Tone legends The Beat at The Grand earlier . this month. The Selecter, fronted by Pauline
