With heart-on-the-sleeve storytelling, beautiful lyrics, warm harmonies and relentless repartee, The Young’uns – Sean Cooney, Michael Hughes and David Eagle – sing life-afrming folk songs for today
The group and their work are born from empathy, crafted with care, fred by hope, and shared with joy.
The Young’uns’ new album ‘Tiny Notes’ takes its name from messages tied to the railings of a bridge in Sunderland, ‘Tiny Notes’ is a collection of songs that fnd hope and humanity in grief and despair. From London Bridge to Lockerbie, from Derry to Aleppo, with warm harmony and beautifully crafted lyrics, these are folk songs for our times.
Nearly twenty years after accidentally stumbling into the alien world of their local folk club as drunken teenagers, (and gaining their cureless name in the process) these three thirty- something friends from Stockton and Hartlepool have never lost the joy of that frst night of singing together. Whether performing at
Glastonbury Festival, writing a song about pigs with a group of school children, or presenting a programme on Radio 4, Sean Cooney, Michael Hughes and David Eagle are just the same.
“Hugely captivating-performing with great verve and humour- a brilliant folk act” Stuart Maconie, BBC 6 Music
“Glorious… celebrating the uncelebrated with warmth, vigour and passion” Mojo
