Broom Bezzums is a folk duo with a fast-growing following of dedicated fans. They delight in a whirlwind of strong musical performances and engaging, cheeky off-the-cuff patter.
With a repertoire of critically-acclaimed original compositions, northern English folksongs and instrumentals, Broom Bezzums offer emotive ‘fiddle-singing’, ballsy guitar, lyrical mandolin and fiddle. Andrew even pumps up his pipes from time to time. They round it all off with robust, soulful vocals.

Lyrics
Fair Lucy she sat at her fathers door
Weeping & making moan
Along comes her brother dear
What ails thee Lucy Wan
Oh I ail and I ail dear brother she cried
And I'll tell you the reason why
For there is a child between my two sides
that’s of you, dear brother, and I
And he has drawn out his good broad sword
That hangs low down by his knee
And he has cut of poor Lucy's head
And her fair body in three
And outen then come her thick hearts blood
And outen then come the thin
And he is away to his mother's house
What ails thee Geordie Wan?
What is that blood on the point of your sword
My son come tell to me
Oh that is the blood of my greyhound,
he would not run with me
But your greyhound's blood it was ne'er so red
My son come tell to me
Oh that is the blood of my grey mare,
he would not ride with me
But your grey mare's blood it was ne'er so clear
My son come tell to me
Oh that’s not the blood of my grey mare
It’s the blood of my sister, Lucy
What will you do when you father comes to know
My son come tell to me
Oh I will set sail in a bottomless boat
An I shall sail the sea
And when will you come back again
My son come tell to me
When the sun and the moon dance on yonder hill
and that may never be
