THE HOUGHTON Weavers are crossing the border again this autumn to perform at Glusburn Institute.

The decades-old Lancashire comedy folk band will return to the arts centre on December 2 for a 7.30pm concert.

South Craven people have clamoured for Institute bosses to rebook the band following their popular concert in Glusburn last Christmas.

Formed in 1975, the Houghton Weavers made their television debut in the BBC talent show We'll Call You and within a couple months were given their own show, entitled Sit Thi Deawn, which continued for seven years. Six series on Radio 2 followed.
