Begins at 7pm
Two-and-a-half years after setting up Ribble Valley’s first jazz and swing big band, Ribble Valley JazzandBlues Club is getting ready to set up asecond big bandfollowing several enquiriesfrom local
The first band, Ribble Valley Jazz Collective, directed by Paul Rigby, has been rehears ing regularly.on Monday eve
nings at The Atrium Cafe Bar in Clitheroe Castle grounds.'. It has more than 25 musi
cians who have blended into a fine band, and who have played a range of traditional and modern big band tunes at moire than 15 gigs since their formation.
'■
■ Highlights have been piay- . ing for big crowds at the Clit-
' heroeFoodFestival.andmore recently playing at Marsden Jazz Festival. Enthusiasm shown by the
Collective has motivated new enquiries, which has spurred Ribble Valley Jazz and Blues to consider setting up a second
band, something which has al-
. ways been on the agenda. Invitations have been sent out to existing enquiries for
. an initial meeting to be held at The Atrium Cafe Bar at 6-30 pm next Monday, November . 10th, when it is hoped that at least 20 new members will commit tojoining up. Tuesday evening rehears
als could start very soon after this meeting. Other new enquiries are
welcome from musicians of varying experience by email to
geoff@ryjazzandblues.co.uk or by phoning 07870908159 for more information.
Band director Paul Rigby
says that this second band will play to a more funky style and band members will not neces sarily need to be able to read music. New members will need to
attend regular rehearsals at The Atrium, andean expect to start playing regular gigs for funkyjazz enthusiasts within 12 months. A performance by the new
jazz band at next year’s now nationally recognised Clithe- roe Jazz Festival, taking place again over the May bank holi day weekend, might well be on the cards i f things go to plan.

Cropper has been the secret ingredient in some of the greatest rock and roll songs, with his trademark sound heard in songs by Otis Red ding, Wilson Pickett and Al bert King. A founding member o f
Booker T and the MGs, Crop per has not only contributed to such instrumental classics as Green Onions, he co-wrote soul hits In The Midnight Hour and Sitting on the Dock of the Bay. “I was probably 13 before I
was allowed to listen to a radio, but then I heard gospel, soul

and rhythm and blues music forthefirsttimeanditwasthe greatest stuff I’d ever heard,” said Cropper.
“It was beautiful music,
and that’s something that drew me into it - It has been my life ever since, playing to people and, hopefully, maldng them happy.”
Cropper, of course, contin
ues to be an in-demand musi cian and his string-bending talents being most recently showcased on albums by Paul Simon, Elton John and Ringo Starr.
Born and raised in Ameri
ca’s Deep South, his education in Nashville was part of a mu sical upbringing that saw him work with some of the greats in soul and R&B. Yet the song writer takes his inspirations from far beyond the R&B scene, adding: “It is strange how songs emerge, it can be very instinctive” . Despite his work bring
ing so much joy, Cropper’s life was interrupted by the death of two close friends. First Otis Redding died, and then the demise of John
Belushi ended his project with The Blues Brothersjust when
it seemed that Cropper’s work would be recognised all over again.
' , “That really hit me hard, John Belushigoing. I refused a lotofworkafterthatandlkind ofwent into semi-retirement.” . On the same bill there’s a - special treat in store for clas-
sicrockfanswithTheAnimals and Friends-includingMick Gallagher, who played on al bums with The Clash and Paul McCartney.'
Bruce Springsteen last year revealed it was The Ani-
• mals and not The Beatles or the Rolling Stones who were his favourite British band. After playing a short burst of “We Gotta Get Out of This
Place” on stage, The Boss said: “That’s every song I’ve ever written - Born To Run, Born InThe USA, all ofthem.” • The A n im a ls and
Friends, plus Steve Cropper. The Grand, Clitheroe, Novem- ber 9th. Tickets £17.50 adv, £20 door. Tel. 01200 421599.
Livewire AC/DC, one of the best loved rock tribute bands on the road, return to The Grand for another high voltage session'of head crunching, ear-bashing, rock and roll mayhem to'- morrow (November 7th). The six-man tribute
band, complete with can nons and a towering wall of Marshall sound stacks, blitz their way through two hours of AC/DC classics - in cluding “Whole Lotta Rosie”, “Highway to Hell” and “Back in Black”. Livewire AC/DC play hits
spanning the two eras of the amazing AC/DC story-from the late Bon Scott and Brian Johnson, with two very in dividual singers treading the boards. Lead singer Jon portrays the legendary front man Scott, who was AC/DC’s original frontmanbeforehis untimely deathinigSo, then Pete dons the famous flat cap
