The trio, whose founder member David Littler lives in Ingol in Preston, shot to fame in the 1970s with their own prime time Granada TV show, Sit Thi Deawn.

First formed back in 1975, they got their break on BBC TV talent show, We’ll Call You.

They signed to EMI and now, incredibly, in their 37th year, they have an amazing 30 albums and three DVDS under their belts and have starred countless times on TV and radio.

Their shows are renowned throughout the North as a great family fun night out.

The Weavers attract a dedicated following of fans who attend many shows, and know many of them by name. Their rapport with their audience is legendary with some great banter passing to and fro.

Expect some great folk standards, lots of tall tales – and plenty of laughs.
