Folk aces The Young'uns are not to be missed in Scunthorpe visit

​Plowright Theatre, Scunthorpe, May 31.

Acclaimed North East folk act The Young’uns will celebrate two decades of singing together with a newly announced spring 2025 UK tour.

The much-loved trio – comprising Sean Cooney, Michael Hughes and David Eagle – will also each be celebrating their own individual 40th birthdays during the UK tour, in addition to the 20th anniversary of the band.

The Young’uns have become one of UK folk music’s hottest properties and best-loved acts. The then teenage friends had stumbled over folk music in 2003 in the back room of a pub in their native Stockton-on-Tees.

20 years since that fateful night, they’ve carried their name around the globe, won three coveted BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, played Glastonbury Festival and gained a reputation for singing life affirming songs of social conscience in immaculate three-part harmony.
