An enthralled audience gave a standing ovation during the Ribble Valley Music Festival Showcase concert.
It came in response to the ex- cellentqualityofperformanc- es by just some of the artists who will appear in the forth coming festival throughout this year. These include pro fessional musicians who of ten perform with The Halle and Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestras. The Pennine String Quar
tet set the scene for the evening with some pleas ant surprises beyond their performance of expected classical pieces. They dem onstrated their virtuosity through creating humour and passion with many var ied sounds from their strings during “Making Whoopee” and a superb rendition the Beatles song “Hey Jude”.

GRAND ENTERTAINMENT
‘Dub Rising Tour' brings a new sound to Clitheroe venue
byTonyDewhurst
www.thegrandvenue.co.uk Box office: 01200 421599
Wherevertheson of the legendary dub pioneer, composer and record producer Augustus Pablo performs m the world, he says he feels the spirit ofhisfather with him.
Pablo senior’s distinctive melodica sound provided the foundation stone of King Tubby Meets the Rockers Up town, regarded as one ofthe greatest dub albums. “As a father he was the best dad 1
could have wished for and it still feels as if his special spirit is watching over me,” said Addis, who performs on the Dub Rising Tour at The Grand in Clit heroe next Thursday (April 2nd). “He’s the one who did everything
for me. Although he’s not physically here, I do my part promoting him, and I do feel his connection on stage.” Undaunted by his father’s heav
yweight legacy, Addis released his first melodica album, “In My Father’s
House”, which celebrates his legacy and places the younger Pablo firmly at the forefront ofthe new roots reg gae revival. “My father’s name was synony
mous with the melodica and his in fluence on dub, reggae and Jamaican music is so huge, it wasn’t the easiest decision to follow him and it did cre ate a lot of expectations. “He was a great man; a spiritual,
kind, loving and humble person. Even though he accomplished so much in his life, he would never boast about them.” Addishassincecollaboratedwith
DJ and master mixer Skrillex and worked alongside Lee Scratch Per ry, adding: “My dad always focused on the spirit and unity of Rastafari. It is a lifestyle, something that courses through your being. “The definition of dub is a musi
cal process, to work on the body and the mind. “It is independent of language,
which is why the vocals are second ary in dub. “The sound is the therapy, and
music is all about sharing the emo: tions and feelings with people.” The show also features Young
Warrior, the offspring of the mighty Jah Shaka, and the godfather ofthe UK Sound Systems. Staying true to the template
forged by his inspirational father, his DJ sets have a very new yet old- school sound, playing roots and cul ture dub music from the 1970s until the present day. His sound appeals to traditional
reggae audiences as well as a fresh generation drawn by his mix of dub- step and musical experimentation. The “Dub Rising” package is complet ed by the dub production team - Suns of Dub, featuring Ras Jammy. • The UK Dub Rising Tour: Ya-
mi Bolo (Jamaica), Addis Pablo (Ja maica), Young Warrior, Suns of Dub, featuring Exile D Brave (Jamaica), performing at The Grand, Clitheroe (Thursday April 2nd, £10 advance ticket). Please phone 01200 421599 or
