We were at the last concert they did in 2012, it was fantastic the best event we have been to for years.

Who is the FOURTH FAMILY?...I only see three.

Perhaps, it is time to create a "third kingdom" lying between the upper mudcat....and the unspoken parts.....

I make it four, but only one that matters- the last one...

Guest - That seems a tad disrespectful to the other families.

Deep regret I cannot attend. Had great sing at Hartlepool last year at the Birtley night. Champion it was. Gan Canny Brian

Four great families - all different. It was a great night in 2012. Have got our tickets for this year's event!

Showcasing some of the best in North-East/U.K. folk music, at one of the best venues in the country. We got our tickets early as the same show was a sell out in 2012.

I've got my tickets!

Really looking forward to this.

If Becky Unthank and Rosie Doonan sing 'Cannily, Cannily' together, I might need tissues ;0)

If this is anything like the show I attended in 2012 it will be amazing. As I remember it the four families were all together on stage throughout and it was evident that they were entirely comfortable with one another with their minds set on engaging the sell-out audience in a night of unrestrained fun.
From the vibrant 'folk-rock' musicianship of the Doonans and the glorious, unrestrained vocal harmonies of the Wilsons, through the haunting interpretations of the Unthanks to the shear undiminished enjoyment of the Elliotts, that night had everything you could wish for - bring it on!

I'd just like to second Guest's comment.

It really was a great show which could only have been improved by a little more collaboration.

Doreen Henderson can certainly still hold a tune and rouse an audience.

Here's to the next time!

All the best
Harry

Another great concert from these north-east families of folk. I agree, it would have been good to more collaboration. The Wilson/Doonans worked very well, and the final song 'Miners Life' with all four families singing lead by the Wilsons, was outstanding. Thank you all.
