to millions of TV viewers who saw him for the first time a few weeks go his piano playing is a new discovery as they proved by jamming the BBC switchboard Peter was a prodigy at seven and won an important scholarship at fourteen His unique and highly individual arrangements for popular tunes reflect his training in the classics and his enthusiasm for jazz Everyone it seems wants to know when they can hear him play again A problem easily solved by spinning his LP best of Featuring "Mountain and and it's the Modem Nero with a fabulous piano style Everyone who visits the South of France knows that the Market at Nice is a sight not to be missed In winter the stalls arc piled with golden mimosa and clove-scented carnations and the oranges from Algiers are Jmore like small melons than the fruit we know in Britain But while the foreign visitor hurries down the narrow street that leads to the market past the shop of black olives and the stall with a thousand baskets the Nicoise stop on their way at a small old-fashioned cake shop which sells some of the most delectable cakes in France Piled in mouth-watering abundance in the window are dozens of varieties of cakes in mere mouthfuls oi rhum baba meringue eclairs and a countless selection of cake mixtures unknown to the English palate but each one a masterpiece of the art a feast for the eye but more unusually a taste experience for the tongue GINGER GEMS QUICK SPINS Crash bang wallop! how you can expect Tom Jones to attack the charts with the old Shirley Bassey number these hands" Tom's ready to take on all comers Another freedom song from Joan Baez is the plaintive plea In the Rhondda Dairy Festival junior tournament held at the Upper rtondda County Secondary School Tre-orchy it became clear quite early in the competition that Portsmouth Select and Llwyny-pia BC were in a class of their own In their opening games it was the Portsmouth team a combination of the two best clubs in Portsmouth who looked the more impressive as they made use of their superior height and power to ruthlessly dispose of a Treherbert side which contained three internationals by 48-22 LARGEST SCORE OF DAY However to the truly discerning performance in jogging to a 30-20 victory over National YMCA champions Mountain Ash without disclosing anything of their true capabilities to the watching Portsmouth team left plenty of room for speculation Sure enough in their next game witnessed by no dangerous rivals Llwynypia opened up to defeat the previously fancied Army Apprentice School Beachley by the largest score of the day 57-18 answer was to crush another local team Ton and Gelli BC with yet one more display of formidable strength allied to skill The stage was now set for the perfect final between two of the best under-18 sides in Great Britain one local the other from across the border Llwynypia were first into the lead and thanks to good shooting by David Addis and Phillip John and good defensive work by Trevor Thomas and Gwyn Lloyd extended it to 8 points by half-time After the resumption Portsmouth relying to a large extent on a link-up between two of their big men John Male and Tony Milne succeeded in closing the gap to three points but fine play by Roger Davies and Gwyn Phillips opened it again in favour DESPERATE EFFORT In the closing stages Portsmouth made one last desperate effort by changing to an allcourt aggressive defence but the Llwynypia boys remained cool and found the gaps to record a final score of 51-34 A truly memorable game TROPHIES PRESENTED The cup and individual trophies were presented to the winners and runners-up by Mr Raymond Jones the Dairy Festival organiser Also present were Mr Roland Smith (chairman WABBA) Mr Hancock (Rhondda Physical Education) and Mr A Hazzard (treasurer WJBBA) The final was refereed by Mr A Chick (secretary WABBA) and Mr Beynon (secretary WJBBA) who also incidentally recently became the youngest International basketball referee
