They sing mainly English folk music, much of it in a Lancashire dialect, as well as folk versions of easy listening hits. The group's song subjects include "The Blackpool Belle", "Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls", and "The Lion of Vienna" in honour of footballer Nat Lofthouse. They are best known for their BBC TV show Sit Thi Deawn (Lancashire dialect for "have a seat", referring to the hospitality of Lancashire people). The programme ran for six series or seven years and was a mixture of easy listening music and comedy for a local audience.The group also starred in six of their own series for BBC Radio 2.
