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 at iconic studios including Abbey Road and Frog Studios, 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 the old Weavers favourites such as Blackpool Belle, Sit Thi Deawn, Matchstalk Men and Dirty Old Town, together with new pieces, original songs and poems and a sprinkle of festive cheer. From raucous energetic folk songs and sing-a-long classics to beautiful poignant ballads, and audience requests thrown in, each and every show with The Houghton Weavers is a little different!
Jim Berry and Steve Millington, featuring Simon Brady on 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!’
