The Young'uns

The Young'uns live shows are renowned. 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) sing life-affirming folk songs for today.

Born from empathy, crafted with care, fired by hope, and shared with joy, The Young'uns' songs have led the band to three BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and the creation of the acclaimed international theatre show The Ballad of Johnny Longstaff. 20 years after accidentally stumbling into the alien world of their local folk club as drunken teenagers, these three thirtysomething friends 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 BBC Radio 4, Sean Cooney, David Eagle and Michael Hughes are just the same.

Taking its name from messages tied to the railings of a bridge in Sunderland, their new album Tiny Notes is a collection of songs that find hope and humanity in grief and despair.
