Biography:
From their website:
Formed in 1975, The Houghton Weavers made their television debut in the BBC's talent show "We'll Call You". So successful were they that, within a couple of months they were given their own show "Sit Thi Deawn" which continued for six series over seven years and had the highest viewing figures for any regional T.V. programme.
As well as their own show the Weavers have appeared on many other national TV programmes for both BBC and ITV including "Jim'll Fix It", "This Is Your Life" and "The Video Entertainers".

The Blackpool Belle - Houghton Weavers
Tabbed by Mucker
C G
Oh the Blackpool Belle was a getaway train that went from Northern stations
G C
What a beautiful sight on a Saturday night bound for the illuminations
C F
No mothers and dads just girls and lads young and fancy free
F C G C
Out for the laughs on the Golden Mile at Blackpool by the sea
CHORUS
C F C
I remember - very well
F A Dm
All the happy gang aboard the Blackpool Belle
C E Am
I remember them pals of mine, when I ride the Blackpool line
Dm G C
And the songs we sang together on the Blackpool Belle
C G
Little Piggy Greenfield he was there he thought he was mighty slick
G C
He bought a hat on the Golden Mile the hat said "Kiss Me Quick"
C F
Piggy was a lad for all the girls but he drank too much beer
F C G C
He made a pass at a Liverpool lass and she pushed him off the pier
CHORUS
C G
Ice cream Sally could never settle down she lived for her Knickerbocker glories
G C
Till she clicked with a bloke who said he was broke but she loved his Ice cream stories
C F
Sally took it all in with a smile and a grin she fell for sailor Jack
F C G C
They went for a trip to the Isle of Man and never did come back
CHORUS
C G
Now the Blackpool Belle has a thousand tales if they could all be told
G C
Many of these I will recall as I am growing old
C F
They were happy days and I miss the times we'd pull the curtains down
F C G C
And the Passion Wagon would steam back home and we would go to town
CHORUS
