An entrepreneurial caravan maker and his famous folk singer partner are set to provide the people of Cumbria with a unique service.

According to the Westmorland Gazette, Barny Maurice and Katus Young hope to share their talents at weddings, markets and other local events.

Mr Maurice taught himself how to build traditional gypsy caravans and has started a business with his half-Czech girlfriend providing vehicles for weddings and other events.

Thirty five-year-old Ms Young has toured the world, performing folk songs in eight languages and will now use a gypsy bow top caravan as her stage to sing at special occasions in Cumbria.

She explained to the newspaper that she is looking forward to getting back to nature by performing in the countryside for a while.

“I have been living in cities for years so being here really brings me back to my country roots and it’s a much healthier lifestyle,” the singer said.
