ALFRED Wainwright dedicated his life to detailing every nook and cranny of England's highest peaks and two decades after his death the Lancashire hill walker and author remains as popular as ever, writes Tony Dewhurst Wainwright's meticulous, hand-


illustrated guides have become essential companions for walkers in the windswept fells of the Lake District and have sold millions worldwide. A special presentation at


Clitheroe's Grand theatre saw Wainwright's friend and BBC broadcaster Eric Robson stage an illustrative talk about Wainwright, who was born in Blackburn in 1907. "Wainwright described the


guides as his 'love letter to the Lake District' and what a letter it

is," said Robson, "His guides are • full of philosophy, observations and poetry, and he was a man ahead of his time in so many ways. "He had a lust for adventure


and was also a pioneering environmentalist. Wainwright's popularity will never wane - 1 don't think his work will ever go out of fashion."

THE under-threat Lancashire Sinfohietta is calling on the public to support them ahead of two


shows at The Grand this month. The Sinfonietta, which has been performing


in East Lancashire for 17 years, faces potential closure following the vjjthdrawal of funding from Lancashire County Council. Comprising all "home grown" Lancashire musicians, it will be performing "Mini Mozart: The Four Seasons" this Saturday (March 9th) at 1-30 p.m. and returning to The Grand the following Friday (March 15th) with the Sinfonietta's "Wunderkind" concert. Fiona Sinclair, general manager of Lancashire


Sinfonietta, said: "We've been working in Lancashire for 17 years and if we lose 50% of our spending we will be struggling to keep ourselves afloat. If we cannot find a way it will be a tragedy for Lancashire as we produce international quality art and encourage the next generation to do more of the same." The Sinfonietta's first concert is aimed at the


very young, featuring well known music from composers including Mozart. "Parents and babies are guaranteed an up-close


experience - with the Sinfonietta's musicians playing instruments and singing to them," explained Fiona. "It should be a lovely afternoon


- music can be a veiy relaxing experience for a young child and I'm sure it will be a special concert." Th'e concert will last for 50 minutes and


refreshments and baby changing facilities will be available. The Grand is accessible for pushchairs, prams and wheelchair users (Tickets cost £4.50 or £15 for a group of four). The Wunderkind show will feature BBC Young


Musician finalist Callum Smart. This talented young violinist won the string final of the 2010


competition at the tender age of 13, and now he is also creating a stir with his singing talents. ('This concert is all about celebrating our young


musicians, and they are all looking forward to playing at such a lovely theatre as The Grand." Before the show, there will be a free pre-concert


talk at 6-45 p.rfi. and all are welcome. The concert itself begins at 7-30. Tickets advance; £14.50 (£13.50 concessions) £5 students and


- unemployed. Standard £15.50 (£14.50). Tel. 01200 421599 or www.thegrandvenue.co.uk
