THE HOUGHTON WEAVERS, The Northwest’s premiere comedy / folk group, stars of Radio and Television, have been entertaining folk for a whopping 50 years!  

Their Annual Winter Tour brings songs, stories and festive fun to the stage, with their unique blend of popular folk music, humour and audience participation. 

Having recently performed as a headline Act at The Great British Folk Festival, their single “Wild Mountain Thyme” appeared in the Heritage Charts Top 40 and is due to appear in an upcoming film, ‘Between Weathers’. The band has recorded over 30 albums, 23 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 a warming sprinkle of festive tunes as well as 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!
