The (Original) Houghton Weavers - Battle of Hastings Monologue

The Houghton Weavers were my late father's favourite folk group from Lancashire and these videos were recorded by him onto VHS cassette from their show 'Sit Thi Deawn', somewhere between 1978 and 1980. This is one of the few monologues that I have performed by Tony Berry and assisted by Norman Prince. He got a great deal of pleasure from both listening to and watching them perform. I hope that you too have even a fraction of the pleasure he did. I also wish to bring an awareness to a new audience of their music. I now want to extend my sincere gratitude to the Houghton Weavers, whom have given me their full written permission to upload and share these videos on You Tube. Please feel free to comment on these videos, but also be aware that I review all comments before they are posted and I will automatically remove any comments that I consider to be offensive, rude or inane without notice or argument.
