A FOLK night is to return to Darwen after almost 15 years.

Peter Wilcock, of a popular folk duo which hosts nights at the Clog and Billycock pub in Blackburn, played in Darwen from 1972 to 1980 and wants to return.

He said: "We won't be playing at the Clog and Billycock tomorrow and we are looking to play on Thursdays at the Bolton Road Conservative Club in the future.

"We did well in Darwen and people enjoyed the nights so I think it could do well again."

Harry Birkner, club chairman, said: "We are trying to get more activities in the club and this fits in with our schedule."
