Virtual Con student makes a name in England 

Published on 27 January, 2006 

Jazz clarinettist Evette Clague, a virtual student of CQU's Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music, recently performed at the Egremont Torch Light Parade in Cumbria.

PhotoID:2756 The 24-year-old Australian, who is blind, was visiting the region to trace her family's genealogy with her parents (Mr Clague's great-grandfather was born in Egremont in the 1800s and became an iron ore miner).

She performed a foxtrot called 'She's Some Baby' written over 75 years ago by two Egremont brothers.

The local Mayor presented Evette with a sculpture commemorating the work of the Red Men of Egremont, in response to her participation. Later, she walked with the Mayor and councillors in the official parade.
