LONDON: Green Note

MON 12TH AUG, 2013 Doors Open 7:00pm Live Music Starts 8:00pm

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.

The lads hail from Teesside, which features strongly in the songwriting of Sean Cooney. Though only in his mid-20s, he crafts powerful songs that are beautifully evocative of the area’s heritage, and have a timeless quality that many an older songwriter would envy.
