Friday, 18th May - The Young'uns

This is their second visit to the club.

With bags of charm, talent, and an abiding enthusiasm for traditional song, The Young'uns are making a big impact on the UK folk scene. Sean Cooney, David Eagle and Michael Hughes bring freshness and dynamism to their arrangements of close harmony songs, both with and without accompaniment. Everything from traditional sea and working songs to more recent compositions is present in their repertoire, and is delivered with originality and flair. Their natural rapport makes them an ideal choice for festivals, venues and clubs: they are effortlessly entertaining, with an irreverent sense of humour that always engages the audience.

2011 has been a great year for The Young'uns. In the spring, they recorded a song for The Itch of the Golden Nit (Aardman Animations), a film conceived entirely by children, whose all-star cast also included David Tennant, Catherine Tate, David Walliams and Vic Reeves. They have played to enthusiastic festival crowds at Shrewsbury, Shepley, Warwick, Whitby, Priddy, Balerno (Edinburgh), Sedgefield and Southwell. They were "The Shantymen" in the critically acclaimed new production of Peter Bellamy's The Transports at Sidmouth FolkWeek, directed by The SouthBank Centre's Jude Kelly. They have also been in demand at song festivals in Europe, played Festival Maritim in Germany and Bie Daip in the Netherlands.

The Young'uns have been signed to Navigator Records, and their first album for the label will be recorded in 2012.
