The Young’uns

One night in Stockton On Tees, three teenagers heard strange sounds coming from the backroom of a pub. They went in and heard people singing songs they’d never heard before, which were without instruments, in their own accents, and about places they knew - folk songs. They joined in and because they were the youngest ones there by several decades, they were soon labeled ‘the Young’uns.’ More than 20 years on, they’ve carried their name around the world, winning 3 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and gaining a reputation for singing life-affirming songs of social conscience in immaculate 3-part harmony.
