Oh La La!’s singer and accordion player, Fifi la Mer said: “We’ve been playing together for 15 years and we’ll be performing as a trio this time featuring guitar, double-bass and myself on accordion and vocals. We play french music with a few jazz tunes.

“We performed in rural Lancashire three or four years ago to packed out venues so we’re very excited to be coming back.”

The show forms part of Spot On Lancashire’s autumn season of touring, taking professional arts events to rural venues and libraries across the county.

The acoustic threesome will be on stage on Thursday, September 29, from 7pm.
