Apparently the group at first called themselves The Pennines and later changed their name to The Pennine Folk.

Information about them is rather sparse on the Internet, but I found this [I tidied up the ALL CAPS, punctuation and spelling a bit but I have no idea whether the musicians' names are spelled correctly]:

From http://www.myspace.com/thepennines:

Manchester Morning

The Pennines are:- Margaret Whitehead (lead vocal) Ken Campbell (vocal & songwriter) Chris Swan (lead guitar) Frank Clapton (bass vocal) Pete Astles (rhythm guitar & tenor vocal). In the 1960s five musicians united to form the Pennines, the group was formed by Ken Campbell & Lynton & Ann McConnel who were joined by Margaret & Frank & then Pete Bowler & Chris Swan. Their first record was 'Both Sides of the Pennines' recorded at Manchester's Sports Guild. A contemporary, folk-orientated acoustic harmony group whose music successfully captured the sights and sounds of their urban environment. Stepping off the overnight train into the cold grey light of a northern dawn they stepped into the world of the early-morning people—street traders, derelicts sleeping rough, flower sellers & the dreamers & all the inhabitants of that rarely observed world that existed at a time when most of us lay in our beds somewhere between sleeping & waking. Some of the beautifully articulate songs on this album reflect the experiences of that morning. As talented creators of original music, the Pennines refused to be confined by harsh city landscapes & draw equal inspiration from a magical tapestry of sea legends & tales of medieval rebellion. Like Pentangle, Magna Carta & James Taylor, great care was taken in their production of both instrumental & vocal arrangements—a fact self-evident as this was their debut album in 1971. This album has stood the test of time, even now when they get back together & play they are received by full capacity crowds. After two reunion concerts in 2006 the group will be performing at the "Pulling Strings" concert at New Mills Town Hall on April 14th 2007.

There is a YouTube video called Pennine Folk that contains samples of about 1-minute each of several different songs. It doesn't give any song titles or an album title.

*
Another YouTube video called The Pennines Hyde Club Manchester contains an audio track of MANCHESTER MORNING, which I assume is sung by the Pennines, but the audio doesn't match the video.

From a message by C. Stuart Cook posted 5-Dec-2006 titled "Pennine Folk Reunion" at a site called http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com:

Too late for anyone to go I'm afraid but Saturday night saw a sell out reunion concert by The Pennine Folk at their old venue at Hyde United Social Club.

The Hyde United Folk Club was one of the biggest & liveliest of the big group clubs in the 60's/70's and was a stage for all big names at various stagers of their careers. Jasper Carrot did an early floor spot before he really got going as an act in his own right.

The Taverners did one of the first performances of "Bread & Fishes". The Oaklands did the first performance of "Matchstalk Men" when Mick Colemen was their Bass Player.

About the only difference to the venue is new tiles in the toilets. Everyone else was greyer & plumper but in good health. Ken Cambell has suffered a stroke in recent years but played an active part on stage.

Principal MC duties fell to Chris Swann as the Pennines did a good job of recapturing their unique sound. 6 strong only Anne McConnell was missing from the lineup. Margaret Worral, always one of the finest singers of the period got back into fine voice after a couple of number " Crazy Mad Michael" & "Slightly Faded" showed just how good along with Chris's superb guitar settings.

Support by Anne & Shelley English. Werneth Low & Ian Dawes among others brought back memories to the packed audience. Principal among the audience was Harold Neild, Still hale and hearty. Harold was instrumental in giving the Pennines a stage at The Bush Folk Club and later went on to be host to the famous Folk in the Kitchen at the Crosskeys in Uppermill where he was the landlord, This club still runs but now in the barn at the pub.

I don't think there are really any 6/7 piece guitar/voice groups singing any more, economics and audience numbers conspire against them. But believe me it was fantastic to hear a blast form the old days.

Apart from everyone having a great time, over £2,000 was raised for Christy's hospital Cancer Charity.
