RECENT Advertiser reports about a Redditch woman competing for a Bafta and Oscar award for a short animation has prompted another shortlisted Bafta nominee from the town to come forward.

Judy Caine, 40, who lived in Redditch until she was 17, was shortlisted for a Bafta Interactive Entertainments Award, for a film about legendary jazz violinist Stphane Grappelli, along with her partner Paul Balmer.

The couple, who are both musicians themselves, now live in London.

Judy attended St Luke's First, Vaynor Middle and Studley High schools and used to live in Headless Cross before moving to Studley.

The DVD she and her partner produced, Stphane Grappelli - A Life in the Jazz Century, is now available in HMV music stores or from the couple's website at www.musiconearth.co.uk

The next project will be a DVD on the life and times of classical guitarist Julian Bream and Mr Balmer also has a biography of Stphane Grappelli titled Stphane Grappelli with and without Django out this week.
