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.

The Ballad of Johnny Longstaff
www.traverse.co.uk
Scotland's new writing theatre, the Traverse champions creative talent by placing powerful and contemporary theatre at the heart of cultural life.The Young'uns loved this in Newcastle and my 11 year old son has ignited loves for 1) history 2) fighting fascism and 3) The Young'uns' music! Any chance you're coming to London? 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Saw it today at The Traverse, it was absolutely beautiful, what an amazing story and production.
Saw it in the toon last Saturday. Amazing.
Simon Roberts For some reason I thought this was later in the year and I was going to ask if you'd like tickets for your birthday present!! Is it too late for you to organise now?? If not, let me know and I'll get you a couple of tickets!
Looking forward to seeing you again after Colonsay and Celtic Connections.
