The Young ‘Uns
The Young’uns have proved themselves a unique proposition – writing and performing a cappella or subtly accompanied songs that tell it how it is alongside traditional songs from their native North-East and further afield – songs of conscience, songs of warmth and wit, songs to provoke, songs to inspire.
“The harmonies are glorious, the wit is waspish. The songs are powerful, the banter is relentless and the audience is happy.” – The Guardian
Renowned for their pitch perfect harmonies and rapid fire humour, their live show undeniably has the human touch. Always engaging, frequently heart-warming, they have built an enviable audience rapport. They are an act that truly takes the cliché out of the “make you laugh, make you cry” tag.

Great moment on the metro in Newcastle last week. 'That's my Dad' Duncan Longstaff told everyone who passed by
A lovely chap, had the pleasure of meeting him at an International Brigade event and it turned out he once lived round the corner from us. I hope this comes west way sometime (Tolpuddle festival?).
