Happy New Year to one and all! We’re looking forward to a 2026 filled with Wilson-singing! And look forward to meeting up with friends new and old during this coming year, come up and say “hello” if you are about! First up…once the snow clears (!), is a local one for us, at Middlesbrough Little Theatre, as guests of our great pal, Pete Davies. We then head down to Beverley, East Yorkshire, to celebrate 50 Years (!) of the great White Horse Folk Club. Please keep an eye on our gigs page, where you will find regular updates on where we will be performing during this year…..much more exciting news to come, with some very interesting singing and recording projects planned throughout the year! Keep on singing Folkies!

Watch this space for upcoming news on a fabulous centre-piece concert at Durham Cathedral in September 2026…exciting times for The Wilson Family!!
Following a very enjoyable 2025 Festival Season we continue into autumn and winter with a busy schedule of singing. Keep an eye on our gigs page for venue and ticket details.
Some hot off the press news is that owing to issues with the availability of Hartlepool Borough Hall, the folk festival directors have made the decision to move the festival to the great city of Durham. The festival in 2026 will be the weekend of 18th/19th/20th September and as proud festival patrons, we look forward to welcoming you to the festival next year: Buy tickets – Durham Folk Festival
Although the Festival has now relocated to the great city of Durham, both The Wilson Family and the Festival Directors were determined to maintain our association with the festival’s friends from the past ten year’s of our time in Hartlepool, particularly The Fisherman’s Arms on Hartlepool Headland, who were so fantastically supportive of the Festival. Therefore we will be holding an annual “Spring Sing with The Wilsons” at “The Fish”, the first one being the weekend of 8th, 9th, 10th May, when pies, fine ale and fabulous singing will be on the menu! See our gigs page for details.
Here we are closing the final concert at this year’s Hartlepool Festival in the Town Hall, see you in Durham in 2026!….:
