Grant will preserve musical heritageSINGLE Gloucester, a folkarchive project developed byGloucester Traditions, hasbeen awarded a HeritageLottery Grant of £27,000 topublish songs from Glouces-tershire and South Glouces-tershire online.The old county has a rich

history of folk music andsong and some of our localsongs are known the worldover, but there are hundreds

more Gloucestershire songsthat lie forgotten and unpub-lished in manuscript and insound archives. Gloucester-shire Traditions have a planto put this right and publishall of the known songs andtunes from the county on aneasily accessible website.“There are over 1,000 folk

songs and tunes collectedin the county,” says GwilymDavies, one of the instigators

of the project, “who knowshow many of these will be-come the popular songs ofthe future?”The project is ambitious

and is the first of its kindanywhere in England. It willtranscribe each song intoeasy-to-download formats, in-cluding songsheets, MP3 andMIDI files.Anybody interested in fam-

ily history will also benefit

from the website, as CarolDavies explains, “With eachsong we are also research-ing the person from whomit was collected. This meansthat youmay find one of yourancestors is represented andlearn a song that was sung inyour family a hundred yearsago. In many instances wehave original field record-ings, so you can actually hearthe voices of history.”

The project starts now, withtraining for volunteers tolearn how to transcribe thesongs into different formats.The next few months will befocused on bringing themate-rial together and building thewebsite. Anyone who wouldlike to volunteer or findout more about the projectcan make contact throughgloucestershiretraditions.co.uk

Hippodrome has Shreklooking for his princess

Shrek the Musical comes to the Bristol Hippodrome this month (9188193)

THERE is a monster of ashow coming to the BristolHippodrome next week, asShrek the Musical arrives onits first ever tour.Based on the award-win-

ning DreamWorks animationfilm, families from across theregion are invited to join ourunlikely hero and his loyalsteed Donkey as they embarkon a quest to rescue the beau-tiful (if slightly tempera-mental) Princess Fiona froma fire-breathing, love-sick

one step closer to achievingmy dreams.”Featuring all new songs as

What’son

BACK in Shakespeare’s daythere were only men in thea-tre companies.Times have changed, and

most performing groupshave plenty of women andgirls.But the girls of Your Call

Theatre Group, based inThornbury, are finding them-selves heavily outnumberedby the boys.“Ours is a small, friendly

and happy group, currentlywith 14 members aged be-tween 13 and 19, but only fourof them are girls. It’s unu-sual, and we’re not sure quitehow it happened,”said chair-man Jill Dimond.“Everyone is welcome,

and everyone takes an ac-tive part. In our shows, boyssometimes take female rolesand vice versa. It reallydoesn’t matter, and the showsare always of a high stand-ard.”Your Call’s next production

will be The Hysterical His-tory of the Trojan War byD.M.Larson, by arrangementwith www.freedrama.net.The performance will be

held at Crossways JuniorSchool in Thornbury on Sep-tember 10 at 7pm.Call Jill on 01454 413850 for

tickets or more informationabout joining the group.

All the world’s astage — but thestage needsgirls too

SIX years ago Sam Sweeney,fiddle player with Bellow-head, bought a violin.It had all the appearance

of a new instrument but thelabel inside gave the date1915 and the name Richard SHoward.Research revealed that the

violin had been made — butnever finished — by a luthierand occasional music hallperformer from Leeds calledRichard Spencer Howard.He had been conscripted in

1916 at the age of 35 and two

years later was killed duringthe battle of Messines Ridge.The pieces of his violin

were given to his daughterRose in a manila envelopeand she kept them all her life.On her death, the parts

were sold and the violin wasfinally finished by luthierRoger Claridge in 2007.The discovery of this his-

tory inspired Sam to createa multimedia performancetelling the incredible story ofthe fiddle that it took nearly100 years to complete.

Collaborating with award-winning story-teller HughLupton, fellow Bellowheadbandmate Paul Sartin andacclaimed concertina playerRob Harbron, Made in theGreat War brings the realityof the First World War into2014, as Sam performs theshow with the actual fiddle.

Sam Sweeney’s Fiddle:Made In The Great War is atCheltenham Town Hall onWednesday, September 3, andat Colston Hall, Bristol, onSunday, September 7.

trainingwhileyou get paidNEW figures from theDepartment forEducation show thenumber of school leaverstaking up apprentice-ships has risen bymorethan 15 per cent in thelast year.InMarch 2013 the num-

ber of 16- and 17-yearolds in apprenticeshipswas 41,738. This year, inMarch, there were 49,228.Apprenticeships have

changed a lot over thelast few years.They were re-designed

with help frommorethan 400 businesses.Increasingly, appren-

ticeships are being seenas a respected alterna-tive to academic study.What is an apprentice-ship?An apprenticeship is a

job with training. You’llbe able to earnmoneywhile you’re learningand have paid holidays.

If you live in England,are over 16 years old andnot in full-time educa-tion, you can apply.What can I learn andhow long will it take?Apprenticeships take

between one and fouryears to complete,depending on the type.And they aren’t just

available in engineeringand plumbing— thereare vacancies in 1,500 jobroles from financialadvice to veterinarynursing to accountancy.How will an appren-ticeship benefit me?Firstly, you’ll be achiev-

ing a respected work-based qualification.You’ll also earnmoney

while you’re learningandworking.Most apprenticeships

give you awage of atleast £170 a week.Also, employers really

value apprenticeships.

They know that ifyou’ve got one, you’llhave the skills they want.In 2013, ICMResearch

conducted a survey.It found that employers

think qualified appren-tices are 15 per cent moreready for work thanthose with other qualifi-cations.Once you’ve completed

your apprenticeship, youcan also collect UCASpoints or go on to highereducation at college oruniversity.

Do I have to pay foran apprenticeship?Apprenticeships are

fully funded by theNational ApprenticeshipService (NAS) if you areaged 16-18.If you are aged 19-23

they are funded half bythe NAS and half by theemployer.If you are 24 or over,

you have to contribute.
