growing season. The growers produced a large


number of entries, all of which were to a high standard, to go on show at Bolton-by-Bowland village hall. The judges had a


difficult task to decide which among themany exhibits were the worthy prize winners. Rex Geldard, himself a

Founded by gruff vocalist Cliff Stocker in die early 1970s, these seasoned bluesmen always de­ liver a master class in musician- ship and raw passion. Their last album and Slack


Alice’s seventh offering, “Nev­ er, Never, Ever Give Up”, was recorded at the Grand’s stu­ dio and they arrive at the York Street venue fresh from a triumphant performance at Colne’s Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival. Cliff said: “I’ve playedmusic


all over the world, recording at the famous Abbey Road Studi­ os in London and at.Graceland Studios in America, but the Grand was a better experience. “We don’t do many gigs in


Lancashire, but we always come back to the Grand and Colne.” Cliff added: “It was a fantas­


tic experience doing the album there, we had Zoot Money and Irish guitarist Jerry Donahue as guests on the record, and the kids from the Grand’s stage school provided thebackingvo- calsforoneofthe tracks, Liar. ' “Theirsingingwasamazing, it really made me proud to see them perform like that.” Cliff explained that “Never,


Never, Ever, Give Up” was in­ spired by a Second World War quote firomwarleaderSir Win­ ston Churchill. “Winston Churchill was my


heroran amazing character who gave so many people hope and I just thought it fitted well because we are still here bat­ tling.” Playing throughoutEurope,


Slack Alice gained a dedicated following, signing to Chapell Music and appearing on the cult BBC music programme,


The Old Grey. Whistle Test. “When we went on the OG- ■


WT, Bob Harris loved one of the songs we wrote, Monday Morn­ ing Blues, and that gave us a lot


of exposure.” They eventually folded, but


not before Cliff had teamed up .with the band Seven Year Itch, who enjoyed a huge hit in Hol­ land with their song “Oh Ya Ha”, later resurfacing on Slack Al­ ice’s “Broken Dreams”’ album.r But the pull of Slack Alice


proved too strong and Cliff re­ formed the band in 1998. They' have since gone from strength, delighting audiences with main stage appearances at Blues Fes­ tivals nationwide. “It was like we were just on


the verge of something really .big the first time, and then it justfell to bits,” said Cliff. ' “But the musicians in the


new band - Liam Barber, Chris Preston, Colin Redmond and Alan Sagar are brilliant crafts­ men. I’m constantly amazed by
