The Minster School was the main secondary school for the Leominster area for many years. Although the school was split into many buildings, some very old and cold, it had a large traditional raised stage in the main hall. The stage was equipped with curtains, a lighting rig (with permanent control deck) and had ample backstage room and wings on either side. The hall could seat perhaps 150 people with good access and parking. This all contributed to making The Minster School an excellent venue for performances, speakers and musical acts alike.

The Minster School was used as a regular venue for Leominster Festival from the first year in 1980 through to 2008, after which the school was dismantled and replaced with the new Earl Mortimer college.

Although the venue was starting to look a little tired towards the end, it remained an excellent venue for hosting larger performances with a good audience capacity. Even now, there is still no alternative providing a similar scale of venue, staging and facilities.

'''4th - 19th June 1988'''

Leominster Festival 1988 is the fifth festival, once again running two years after the previous festival in 1986. Since the last festival, the Leisure Centre just off the town centre has been completed and the editorial mentions the Tourist Information Office and Community Association being now firmly part of the town landscape. This is also the year in which the Leominster Bypass is opened, providing a route around the town to the East.

The programme is, once again, in a larger format and the price has now doubled from 50p in 1986 to £1. But, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have used the beautiful design by [[Jane Wells]] on the cover as it did in 1986.

But, otherwise, the festival feels like it is now finding its feet with a solid array of entertainment which contains both new performers and some familiar acts.

==Programme Introduction==

[[File:1988-programme-cover.png|left|200px]]

'''EDITORIAL'''

'''Leominster Festival ‘88'''

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome new patrons to this the fifth Leominster Festival and to those of you who have enjoyed previous Festivals it will be a pleasure to see you again. I trust that you will all find something in our programme to please and to entertain you.

For the benefit of our newcomers can I tell you that the Festival was the splendid idea of a small group of altruistic individuals who decided that the annual visit of Birmingham Philharmonic Orchestra and the major production
by Leominster Choral Society should be augmented. Since that first Festival ten years ago the event has grown to the extent that it is difficult to contain the Festival to two weeks. The work of organising the next Festival usually begins shortly after the completed Festival, so it tends to be a never ending job of work for the committee.

I am often asked how one can become involved, it is very simple, you can become a Friend of the Festival for a modest sum simply by contacting the Hon. Treasurer, Mr. C. Sansom, Fircroft, Hereford Road, Leominster. You can come along to our Annual General Meeting, on 23rd September, at The Royal Oak Hotel, and participate or possibly become a committee member.

My predecessor, in his introduction to Festival ‘86, commented on the changes which were taking place in Leominster. He referred to the Leisure Centre, which was then under construction. It is now finished, open and is satisfying the physical needs of many people. He also referred to the Tourist Information Centre and to the Community Association, which are now so firmly established that it is hard to remember a time without them.

It is pleasing to report that the Leisure Centre and the Community Association are included as venues in this year’s Festival and I would hope that in the future we will be able to use the Leisure Centre as a venue for some
more ambitious light entertainment. At present there is no venue in Leominster large enough to attract an audience to meet the costs of to-days light entertainment. As each Festival is in the planning stage we discuss light
entertainment, the result is always the same, costs run into thousands of pounds and the regrettable fact is that we cannot afford to pay such prices until we can attract large audiences. Until that time we have to accept the criticism that the Festival does not cater for all tastes.

I am hopeful that another venue may become available before the next Festival. I refer to the assembly rooms to the rear of the Lion House, better known locally as the Lion Ballroom. This is a magnificent regency ballroom
which is, hopefully, to be restored to its former glory and will make an unrivalled local venue for many types of musical entertainment.

To the programme

It is not easy for me to highlight any particular event or person because, whatever one’s taste, I think there are a number of each which catch the eye. We start again with a Craft Fair which is intended as a shopfront for local
craftsmen and women to demonstrate their expertise, this will be punctuated by various entertainments, bands, clowns, dancing, Radio Wyvern Roadshow and others.

On the musical side of the programme the style is varied and definitely has an international flavour with performers from Denmark, Scotland, India and the Caribbean. For those who like their music “en masse”, making their annual
visit is Birmingham Philharmonic Orchestra, on this occasion with pianist Phillip Dyson making a very welcome return. Leominster Choral Society has joined forces with Bromyard and District Choral Society, Leominster Festival
Orchestra and soloists to present Verdi’s Requiem. This promises to be a memorable evening. On the lighter side the folk evening and the ceilidh are a must for those who enjoy audience participation.

A wide range of topics are covered in the various talks, from Contemporary Art to Ley lines and art lovers will be able to see children’s art and also an exhibition by two local, but nationally acclaimed, artists.

We seem to be establishing a habit of presenting a debut or premiere at the Festival. On this occasion we have a première, a one woman show by actress, Faith Kent. We are also pleased to welcome Hagley Theatre Group, which in
addition to Leominster Drama Group gives us more drama than any previous Festival.

I have mentioned the three principal arts but there is much more and all is explained in greater detail in the remainder of this programme.

I would like, so far as the programme is concerned, to conclude by making special reference to the lunchtime concerts in the Priory Church. These are provided for people to wander in and out and have a break from their workplace. The performers donate their services and therefore admission is free but obviously donations would be welcome to cover expenses.

Finally, but most importantly, I have to advise you that this Festival only happens because a number of people work very hard to make it possible. My personal thanks go to the Festival Committee, I also thank the patrons who, apart from being Friends, have supported the many fund raising events. The Festival now costs many thousands of pounds and we are dependent on the generosity of sponsors, the local authorities, West Midlands Arts, local companies and individuals. The total monies raised by fund raising and sponsorship amount to approximately 40% of the total cost of the Festival. The conclusion to the equation is that we must sell tickets—to you, in order to make this Festival possible.

So please support us and thank you for doing so.

[[Cilla Fisher]] and [[Artie Tresize]] of [[The Singing Kettle]] return for an evening of folk music and are joined by [[Saraband]] and [[Alan Tipple]].

==Programme Listing==
The Festival has had folk music before but in a modest way—not this time. This evening we feature a duo from Scotland with an established national reputation and a trio from Malvern who are rapidly establishing theirs. Between them they feature music and song with its roots in traditional Scottish and Irish music to Bach, the Beatles and Dire Straits. Something for everyone.

[[File:1988-cilla-fisher-artie-tresize.png|left|200px]]'''Cilla Fisher''' is the youngest member of the well known Fisher Family of Scottish folksingers. Together with her brother and sister they have greatly influenced the trend of Scottish traditional and contemporary folk music in recent years. Cilia’s marriage to '''Artie Tresize''' (family roots in Cornwall) has proved to be one of those highly fortuitous events that have a way of happening in the folk music world; for his voice and tasteful accompaniments on guitar, lap organ and Scottish small pipes provide an ideal setting for the traditional material they generally favour.

Cilla and Artie, always in great demand, play to packed houses the entire length and breadth of the British Isles and also abroad. Overseas tours have taken them to Australia, Canada, Holland, Ireland, Bermuda, Germany as well as guesting at the first ever Hong Kong Folk Festival. It was a great accolade for them to represent the U.K. as B.B.C. artists at the European Broadcasting Festival in Finland a few years ago.

[[File:1988-cilla-fisher-artie-tresize.png|left|200px]]Cilla’s marriage to Artie Tresize (family roots in Cornwall) has proved to be one of those highly fortuitous events that have a way of happening in the folk music world; for his voice and tasteful accompaniments on guitar, lap organ and Scottish small pipes provide an ideal setting for the traditional material they generally favour.

Cilla and Artie, always in great demand, play to packed houses the entire length and breadth of the British Isles and also abroad. Overseas tours have taken them to Australia, Canada, Holland, Ireland, Bermuda, Germany as well as guesting at the first ever Hong Kong Folk Festival. It was a great accolade for them to represent the U.K. as B.B.C. artists at the European Broadcasting Festival in Finland a few years ago.

==Programme Biography==
[[File:1988-The-Singing-Kettle.png|left|400px]]
The Singing Kettle was originally a recording of all the songs that [[Cilla Fisher]] and [[Artie Tresize]] sang to their daughter—folk songs, rhymes and street songs that they remember from their upbringings in Glasgow and Fife.

The huge success of the album meant that they were persuaded to take the show on the road from their home base of Kingskettle in Fife and invitations came to perform a series for B.B.C. TV. and to write and present for Educational Television.

Edinburgh musician, Gary Coupland, pianist, accordionist and trombone player, was invited to join the Singing Kettle team—and is now an integral part of their dynamic stage performance.

The Singing Kettle has opened its lid to thousands of youngsters in Germany, U.S.A., Canada, Ireland, Australia and Hong Kong. Even the hallowed halls of the Purcell Room in London and the Swan Theatre at Stratford have rung to the music of Scotland’s unique children’s entertainment.

==Programme Biography==
[[File:1988-The-Singing-Kettle.png|left|400px]]
The Singing Kettle was originally a recording of all the songs that Cilla Fisher and Artie Tresize sang to their daughter—folk songs, rhymes and street songs that they remember from their upbringings in Glasgow and Fife.

'''Leys and Earth Mysteries'''

An illustrated talk by Paul Devereux, B.A.

How many of us have stood at Stonehenge, Avebury, or other similar historic sites and wondered the why or when of it? What is their significance to the peoples of the time or, indeed, to us to-day? These questions may not be answered by Paul Devereux but he will excite your curiosity further.

Paul Devereaux, since 1976, has been editor of The Ley Hunter, a specialist magazine dealing in the multidisciplinary research area known as “Earth Mysteries” in the U.K. (e.g. ancient sites, geomancy, leys, folklore, possible earth energies, paranormal phenomena, unfamiliar atmospheric and geological energies). He is founder and director of The Dragon Project, set up in 1977 to investigate the possibility of there being unusual energy effects at
certain types of prehistoric site.

As well as broadcasting frequently in Britain and the United States of America he has lectured widely on the subject.
