Sue plays English concertina and Liz guitar and bouzouki. Expect great harmony singing from them both, their songs range from the poignant to the hilarious. They are also known for their collaborations with stage productions based on the life of the Fylde area and its association with the sea.  Chorus singers and listeners are very welcome.

As the third generation of the famous folk singing Campbell family, it is our pleasure to have David back as a guest.
