A LEADING North West folk and comedy group are set to pick up their strings and grace a Carlisle stage.
The Houghton Weavers will be visiting Carlisle Green Room's West Wall Theatres on Saturday, September 10.
The trio, which have fine-tuned their craft playing in folk clubs all across the North West, have never wavered from their original motto of 'Keep Folk Smiling'.
Steve Millington, David Littler and Jim Berry entertain their audiences in a show of charming fun, humorous jokes, and anecdotes, together with plenty of music, varying from raucous traditional and popular folk songs to sing-along favourites, with beautiful ballads and original pieces included throughout - all the while ensuring no two shows are the same.
Steve Millington said the audiences he has witnessed over Cumbria within their tenure have been one of a kind.
"We are delighted to be returning to the wonderful Carlisle Green Room's West Walls Theatre. The Weavers have always had a warm reception and fabulous audiences in Cumbria over the 48 years of us performing together.
"Our show is very simple. It's a mixture of sing-a-long songs and comedy. We just want everyone to go away happy and fulfilled and to hopefully come back again next year for another Houghton Weavers Show.
"So, we hope to see you all down there for a 'reet good night'," he said.
In their time together, the band have performed thousands of concerts, recorded over 30 albums, starred in several of their own highly successful BBC radio and TV series, and made countless appearances on other programmes.
The Houghton Weavers enjoy entertaining those young and old in a show designed for all the family to enjoy.
