The Young’uns’ live shows are renowned roller coaster rides. With heart-on-the-sleeve storytelling, beautiful lyrics, warm harmonies and relentless repartee, Sean Cooney, Michael Hughes and David Eagle (the award-winning stand-up comedian) write and sing folk songs for today.
★★★★ The Times
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 thirtysomething friends from Stockton and Hartlepool have never lost the joy of that first 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.
Almost 20 years on and The Young’uns continue to entertain audiences around the world. Three-time BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winners, the much-loved trio have built a reputation for singing folk songs for the times we’re living in. Born from empathy, crafted with care and delivered with passion, The Young’uns songs have touched hearts from Vancouver to Victoria.
In this festive set they bring Christmas songs old and new with their trademark harmony, heart and humour.
