Norman Prince and Paul Johnston will perform an evening of Lancashire songs and stories at the Platform in Morecambe on Saturday October 11.
Norman Prince was the front man and leader of the country's top comedy folk group, The Houghton Weavers, for over 24 years and his humour and tales were a major part of the Weavers success. Their TV series 'Sit Thi Deawn' is still the definitive example of North West life in songs and humour. He left the band nine years ago and is now one of the country's top after dinner speakers, working at venues as far apart as Aberdeen, The Dorchester Hotel in London and L'Horizon Hotel in St Helier, Jersey.
Paul Johnston was a member of the legendary folk group, The Fivepenny Piece. He currently performs with his own group, Cracked Flag, and, like Norman, has amassed a tremendous knowledge of songs and stories over the last 20 years or so.
After meeting some of the old 'Weavers' fans at the dinners Norman was speaking at, they reminded him how good the nights had been and how much enjoyment his humour and song had given the fans. So, after chatting with his old mate Paul Johnston, he and Paul decided to get together every so often and return to their roots and Norman's first love – the folk, comedy and music of his beloved Lancashire.
The combination of their talent and experience gathered over the years guarantee the audience an evening of fun and laughter unsurpassed in the theatres of today.
The show will start at 7.30pm and tickets cost £11 adults, £9 concessions from the Box Office on 01524 582803 or 01524 406108.
