Welcome to Furness Tradition, we are an organisation run entirely by volunteers promoting folk music and related arts and crafts in South Cumbria. Part of our mission is to keep local music and traditions alive but we also play and promote a wide range of music across different traditions. You can usually find us at The Hope and Anchor pub in Ulverston on Tuesday nights from 8:30 pm where we gather for our weekly session.
Why not come along and enjoy the music.

We are really pleased to welcome The Andy May Trio, high energy traditional music from Northumberland. Northumbrian Pipes, Fiddle & Guitar. This promises to be an absolutely cracking night!
The Andy May Trio are three award-winning musicians from Newcastle – Northumbrian piper Andy May (Jez Lowe and The Bad Pennies, Baltic Crossing), guitarist Ian Stephenson (Kan, Baltic Crossing) and fiddler Sophy Ball (422, Bottle Bank Band) – playing high energy instrumental folk, inspired by the music of their native North East.
Come and enjoy traditional tunes from Northumberland, newly-composed material by all members of the band and an introduction to the pipes, all delivered with a warmth and humour which is sure to draw in both folk aficionados and newcomers alike for a dazzling show filled with virtuosity and energy.
There’s a certain connection only heard between musicians after many years’ playing together; after more than a decade’s music making together in various guises the tight interplay and sense of fun between these three friends is sure to delight!
