The Houghton Weavers

The Houghton Weavers, the north-west’s premiere comedy/folk group, stars of radio and television, have been entertaining folk with their unique blend of popular folk music, humour and audience participation for a whopping fifty years!

Having recently performed as a headline act at The Great British Folk Festival, their single Wild Mountain Thyme appeared in the heritage charts top forty and is due to appear in an upcoming film Between Weathers. The band has recorded over thirty albums, twenty-three of which were arranged and produced by Steve Millington.

The Houghton Weavers promise plenty of laughter with their infectious humour and funny stories galore. You’ll hear the old Weavers favourites such as Blackpool Belle, Sit Thi Deawn, Matchstalk Men, and Dirty Old Town, together with new songs penned by the lads, original poems and of course some audience requests thrown in to make every show a little different!

Jim Berry and Steve Millington, featuring Simon Brady on guitar and mandolin, is an exciting combination on stage which will certainly have you singing along to this
feel-good show!

The Houghton Weavers guarantee a wonderful evening of entertainment and their experience – together with their style and professionalism – ensures that, as their motto says, they always Keep Folk Smiling!
