The hilarious comedy “Death by Fatal Murder” is to be pre­ sented by Clitheroe Parish Church Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society.


Theplay,by Peter Gordon, will be staged at St Mary’s Centre from Wednesday to Saturday, Octoberi4-i7th. The play revolves around


the inept attempts of Inspec­ tor Pratt to solve yet another crime at Bagshot House. His previous visits involved a mounting body count, as he looked on, helpless and hope­ less.


Now, he is back and, as


usual, chaos reigns supreme. During the course of this new investigation, Pratt meets the new owner of Bagshot House, Nancy Alwright, and soon he is embroiled in anew mystery, aided and abetted by Miss Ma­ ple (not to be confused with


Miss Marple) and Constable Thomkins. Upper crust Gin- ny and Italian gigolo Enzo help with inquiries, but danger soon looms, with an unexpect­ ed arrival and a frightening suggestion by Welsh busybody Blodwyn Morgan. Cast members are: Wendy


Watson as Nancy Alwright, Erica Mileham as Ginny Far- qhar, Damian Marsh as Con­ stable Thomkins, Richard Hubbard as Inspector Pratt, Samantha Smith as Miss Joan Maple, Kelly Steed as Blod­ wyn Morgan, Peter Lambert as Enzo Garibaldi and Brian Haworth as Squadron Leader (“Stiffy”) Alwright. . Ifyou love to laugh, enjoy a mystery andyou are curious to see how the story ends, don’t miss out on what willbe a great night’s entertainment. The show begins at 7-30


pm and tickets, which are £8, are available at St Mary’s Cen-


of Hot Stuff Ifyou are old enough to re­ member the 70s and young enough to have enjoyed the music, then “Hot Stuff” at the Oldham Coliseum will give you wonderfully nos­ talgic and highly entertain­ ing evening (writes Pippa MunroHebden). I never thought of my­


self as much of a pop fan, but I recalled all the songs with delight and I tapped my feet and waved my arms with everyone else. The basic plot, such as


it is, concerns young Joe Soap (Benjamin Stratton), who sells his soul to the Devil (Paul Duckworth) with the help o f Lucy Fur (Alan French), a kind of version of Marlowe’s play “Faustus”. Ibinabo Jack plays

Joe’s unfortunate fiancee, Abigail Climer plays Miss Hot Stuff, a Hell’s Angel along with Nicola Hawkins. The ladies are superb singers and the band,


Howard Gray (director), Tom Connor, Adam Keast' and Mark Newnham, are excellent. Two of them give an


amazing Lennon and Mc­ Cartney impersonation. Alan French is an OTT


Danny La Rue with a great voice and Foxton’s design is astounding. Beverley Edmunds’


choreography is terrific and the dancing is meticu­ lous and impressive. The humour is a big


part along with the glori­ ous innuendos to the 70s references. The enthusiasm of the


cast and musiciansjust ra­ diates across the footlights. Thanks to you all for


marvellous, life-enhanc­ ingevening.

often outrageous glam rock style has left its indelible mark on everyone from David Bowie to Lady Gaga. “It was his look, his voice,


the way he strummed the guitar, and the way Marc car­ ried himself in that fey but yet hardened East End swag­ ger that he always managed to maintain in equal meas­

that gave me such a proud feel­ ing. I think it made their par­ ents proud too.” Danielz has released a book


about his life in T.Rextasy, with Morrissey, an avid Bolan fan, penning the foreword. “It is about taking that step


further to form a band playing music that I grew up with and loved, and then becoming rec­ ognised and endorsed by not only Marc’s family, but as the world’s only official tribute to Marc Bolan and T Rex,” he said. “Marc Bolan was an ex­


traordinary pop artist who manufactured his own sound and act, and his career was definitely on the way back when he died. “Marc would still be doing


great music If he was alive to­ day, and helping nurture new bands. He would never have got involved with ‘X Factor ‘or any of that rubbish.” • T Rextasy, The Grand,
