“It’s pretty exciting to have a band of this calibre coming to play St Annes,” said Steve Canavan, who runs the folk club and is also a Gazette columnist.

“They are a really talented group who have become pretty successful in the last few years.

“I like them because not only are they great musicians and sound terrific – I defy anyone not to tap their feet along to the tunes – but they stay true to their Lancashire roots and a lot of their songs are about the north west.

“It should be a really good night.”

The folk club takes place at the Pavilion Café in Ashton Gardens, St Annes, and tickets for the concert are £7 – available by emailing [email protected] or by buying direct from the venue.

Doors open at 7.15pm on Saturday September 3, the music starts at 8pm.
