Taken from their annual Christmas show at Preston's Guild Hall in 2008, The Houghton Weavers play perhaps their best known song "The Blackpool Belle" with The Wingates Band.
In fact - it was not intended that the brass band would play along to this song on the night - it was going to be just the Weavers - but once the song had started, trombonist (and BBC Young Musician Of The Year 2008) Peter Moore could not resist doing his bit - and before you know it, the whole brass band kicks in...
Watch the faces of the Weavers as the genuinely unexpected brass parts come in, and this impromptu performance has a fantastic energy which really captures the fun of one of these special Christmas shows.
