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.

It never went away if you looked for it.
I keep playing you on my hospital radio show as well.
Good to read about “Woke Foke”. Hope it doesn’t completely oust the “Faery Folk” 😉

Excellent piece! Such a moving and important story and show. Great to see excerpts of the Live performance and songs again x
the station loftus live venue these lads performed at your place a few years back gone on to be one of the top folk bands in the u.k
Thanks for the link. Hope I can get to see the show one day.
Watched it. Brilliant. A well-made piece that captured everything about a wonderful concert and the story behind it. As others have said, there were tears in my eyes at the show and again watching this programme. A story that needs to be told and you are doing a great job telling it
Just caught up with this. Fantastic stuff. Well done guys!
