Welcome to Furness Tradition, we are an organisation 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.

Upcoming Events

Ghost of a Sailor – Pete Morton – 18th October 2025

On Saturday 18th October, acclaimed singer-songwriter Pete Morton will perform his moving and uplifting show Ghost of a Sailor at the Coronation Hall.

This is more than just a concert — it’s a fundraiser for Every Life Matters, the Cumbrian charity working to prevent suicide, reduce stigma, and support families and communities affected by loss. As part of their work, the charity visits schools, colleges, and local businesses across Cumbria, helping people recognise the signs when someone may be struggling and encouraging open, lifesaving conversations.

All proceeds will go to Every Life Matters, as the hall costs have been covered privately in memory of a loved one.

Tickets are on sale now from the link below where you can also watch a video preview of Pete performing.

ABOUT ROSWELL ROAD
Jasmine Watkiss and Zoë Wren formed Americana duo Roswell Road after a chance meeting led to them being gently forced to sing together in a busy Cambridgeshire market square. Their musical chemistry was instantaneous and they’ve been singing and writing songs together ever since. The London-based multi-instrumentalists blend close harmonies with candid storytelling, drawing on experiences from mental health to family love to real-life activist adventures at sea.
Roswell Road’s sound, which has drawn comparisons to First Aid Kit, Fleetwood Mac and the Indigo Girls, has taken them from sold-out shows at London’s Green Note to stages across Europe, including Costa Festival Ibiza and a showcase at MiCannes, France. Roswell Road has supported artists including Catherine McGrath, John Smith and Dea Matrona, and played festivals from Cambridge and Shrewsbury Folk Festivals to the Fête de la musique Genève.
Winning Purbeck Rising in their first year as a band, Roswell Road’s first release earned the title of Fatea EP of the Year, and the duo went on to be named winners of the Celtic Connections Danny Kyle Competition. Fresh from tours in Germany and France, Roswell Road is currently working on their debut album with acclaimed producers and songwriters The Dunwells, with plans to release in late 2025.
