The Houghton Weavers in Kendal

The Houghton Weavers, an English folk music band formed in 1975, bring their Lancashire-flavored folk to Kendal. Known for their BBC TV show *Sit Thi Deawn* and six series on BBC Radio 2, the group performs a mix of traditional folk songs in Lancashire dialect and easy listening covers. Attendees can expect a warm, nostalgic atmosphere with songs like "The Blackpool Belle" and "Uncle Joe's Mint Balls."

The current lineup features Steve Millington (bass, keyboards, accordion, vocals) and Jim Berry (guitar, harmonica, vocals), alongside guitarist Peter Frampton. The band's history includes original members David Littler and the late Tony Berry, whose legacy continues through the music. This concert offers a chance to experience a beloved act that has entertained audiences for decades.
