THE ROSE OF THE RIBBLE VALLEY
A Novel by Graham Dixon
Folksinger, GEOFF, is the ‘Front man’ with ELDERFLOWER PUNCH - a four-piece musical group who, when they perform, pack the pubs and folk clubs of Northwest England. WAYNE plays bass; CHLOE, a student archaeologist, is the singer and LUTE is the mandolin player.
The band are plagued with cancellations, due to the ‘ridiculous’ law which allows no more than two performers to play at any one time, in venues that do not hold a very expensive ‘Public Entertainment Licence’.
BRIAN CLAYTON, an old folk-singing friend, comes to the rescue when he opens a new ‘Live Music Venue’ in the area.
Brian’s wife TINA is from a ‘well to do’ family, her father FRANK CROXLEY and her devious brother STANISLAW run a large company and own much of the land and property in the Ribble Valley. The Croxleys have many secrets and past indiscretions locked away with other skeletons in the family cupboard.
The beautiful ROSEMARY appears to Geoff, first of all in a vivid dream experienced after sampling a strange drink made from the rose petals collected from Croxley’s Wood, and then (apparently) in the flesh on a car park after a gig. From the ensuing conversation it appears that Rosemary is a ghost and has been dead for almost three hundred years.
Rosemary is trying to find out what happened to her fiance BRYAN of CLAYTON who was an eighteenth century street musician cum minstrel and the author of the song THE ROSE OF THE RIBBLE VALLEY.
The story, sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, sees Geoff and Chloe getting mixed up in a clever illegal drugs operation as they try to solve the mystery of Bryan of Clayton and his beloved Rose of The Ribble Valley.

SONG OF THE WEEK
VINCENT
(Don McLean)
G Am
Starry, starry night, paint your palette blue and grey,
C D7 G
Look out on a summer's day, with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Am
Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils,
C D7 G C G
Catch the breeze and the winter chills, in colours on the snowy linen land.
Am D7 G Em
And now I understand what you tried to say to me,
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free.
A7 Am7 D7 G
They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now.
Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze, reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain, are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now.
Am7 D7 G Em
For they could not love you, but still your love was true.
Am7 Cm6
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night,
G F7 E7
You took your life, as lovers often do.
Am7
But I could have told you, Vincent,
C D7 G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls, with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met, the ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will.
This week’s song was requested by Kevin Brady. Further requests/suggestions for future Songs of the Week to Joan please. Requests have been received for enough songs for the next few weeks, including Vincent, Loch Lomond, Bright Blue Rose, Sally Free And Easy, How Can I Keep From Singing, Valley of Strathmore, Farewell To The Rhondda, Allentown Jail, Banks of the Sweet Primroses, Four Strong Winds, Puttin’ On The Style, Not The Fields Of Athenry, Tripe Ships Of Wigan, Queen Of Argyll, Forest Lawn, Isle of St Helena, Three Drunken Maidens, Bonnie Lass of Fyvie, various songs of His Worship And The Pig, My Voice Keeps Changing On Me, and Sing Like No One’s Listening.
