The Young’uns have cemented their reputation at the forefront of the English folk scene in the last few years. Having taken their uplifting voices, powerful songs, spine tingling harmonies and raucous humour to audiences across the UK and around the world, they won the title of ‘Best Group’ at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award in 2015 and 2016.
The Teesside trio return in 2017 with an extensive October UK tour and an eagerly anticipated new album of folk songs for our times – a homage to the outsider, a eulogy for the wayfarer and a hymn for the migrant.
Forever Young ‘Uns offers a unique opportunity to catch the Young Uns in the middle of their national tour in an intimate setting.
“The harmonies are glorious, the wit is waspish. The songs are powerful, the banter is relentless” ***** The Guardian
