The Chatburn Music Events - a series of popular and suc­ cessful concerts held largely at Christ Church Chatburn - have been bringing people to­ gether with quality music over the past five years. They have raised money


for various worthy causes and charities, as well as for the re­ furbishment o f the church, which is currently under way. Now this successful formula is being rolled out to addition­ al venues across the district, with the launch of the firis't Ribble Valley Music Festival. It will bring some qual­


ity artists who regularly per­ form with The Halle and The Philharmonic, plus recipients of musician and orchestra of the year awards, to the local music scene. An entertaining programme of many types of music will be performed at 15 events by almost 300 nation­ al and regional artists, mu­ sic students and community groups, performing at seven landmark locations through­ out the Ribble Valley, and with proceeds at most events con­ tributing to the host venue. The festival will take place •


over several months, from spring to autumn, enabling visitors to enjoy the many other attractions in the Rib­ ble Valley over several visits,

particularly the food and hos­ pitality, countryside pursuits and the heritage, all of which should have a sustained eco­ nomic benefit for Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley. Collaboration contin­

festival organising body Rib­ ble Valley Music, said: “There are always risks and lots of hard work in putting togeth­ er music events, but we are delighted with the enthusias­


tic support from artists and venues in this first year of the festival, and by the increas­ ing number ofvenues that are wishing to take part.” The festival opens on May


8th in grand style with the First Night of the Ribble Valley Proms, celebrating the refur- h i s h e d Christ Church Chat-


event in the Ribble Valley com­ memorating the 70th anniver­ sary of VE Day, likely to be the last in the lifetime of Second World War participants. Stage Two Drama Group

further backl go in music, the further forward it takes me,” said Soweto, who provides one of the highlights of the Ribble Valley Jazz Festival. “There’s 40 songs on the


album, and I had this gi­ ant storehouse of beats and sounds I weaved into an arts performance that became a labour of love. I’m a musician, which often means serving the market, but it also a way of transforming our percep­ tions, creating things no one's ever heard before.” Kinch, who landed a Mer­


cury Music prize nomination for his work, added: “I often


.find that when 1 do a show • there’s a coterie of over-fif­ ties hard-corejazz fans on one side of the room, and a bunch of Hip-Hop loving teenagers on the other. Afterwards the kids often say they love jazz, and the older guys say ‘Ah, so that’s what Hip-Hop is’!


“For me, that’s what it is


all about - pushing out the boundaries.” With his weighty fusion of


Hip Hop and Jazz, it not sur­ prising that Kinch is revered and respected by his fans. “It is an interesting time,


but going back 40 years, Miles Davis wanted to collaborate with Jimi Hendrix, so musi­ cians have always plundered the sound of jazz and vice- versa.” He plays the saxophone


in the instinctive tradition of British Jazz. “At school, I copied all the


John Coltrane records from the library onto cassette. The Pharcyde, De La Soul and Tribe Called Quest sampled


jazz records - their Hip-Hop music has resonances of jazz in it.” He says bands like Roller


Trio and Portico Quartet are at the cutting edge of a new


sound: “They have interest­ ing ways of getting new audi­ ences to consider the music first before realizing it’s jazz. That’s very healthy. But there is also a pressure to make it cool. You need to seed it with something else. You can’t just play the music. “One of the best things to


come from touring is seeing young people respond to the music. Particularly to instru­ mental passages, which you’d think are only relevant for old­ er audiences.” Kinch made his Ribble Val­


ley bow at the town’s Atrium theatre last year and added: “We did the Clitheroe rap­ ping song together, and that was very special man. I can’t wait to come back to Clitheroe, there’s a lovely, cool vibe.” • Soweto Kinch, Ribble
