Double delight
THE internationally renowned identical twin sisters Antoinette and Claire Cann will be performing a sparkling programme of piano duets at St John the Baptist Church, Aymestrey, near Leominster on Saturday, May 24, at 7.30pm. Antoinette and Claire first played the piano when they were three years old, picking out tunes on the family piano. “The first thing we picked out was the theme to Listen with Mother.” Starting lessons was apparently the only time the pair were at odds about their playing. “Toni was very keen to go,” says Claire. “But at the time, Claire was shy,” adds Antoinette.

JEAN Miller keeps trying to stop people buying her paintings, but she’s having very little luck. As fast as she finishes a picture for her forthcoming exhibition, there is someone knocking at the door of her Hay home with, in some cases, wads of cash to exchange for one of her distinctive works, and she’s worried there’ll be none left for her exhibition.
