The Young 'Uns

Event information

The Young Uns: 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.

Josienne Clarke: Rising through the ranks of the London folk scene, Josienne Clarke is now one of the leading lights in the current folk revival movement. Having released her debut album, “One Light Is Gone,” late 2010, reviewers are already praising her vocal and songwriting talents with comparisons to June Tabor and Sandy Denny. She has performed alongside many great folk musicians including Martin Simpson, Ric Sanders of the Fairport Convention, Kami Thompson, Emily Portman, Mary Hampton and Emily Barker.
