Rising Star David Eagle of The Young’uns: “One of the beautiful things about music is how it can grab you on an emotional level in a way that news stories can’t”

…One of the beautiful things about music and songs is how it can grab you on an emotional level; whereas in a way I think we sometimes become immune to news stories, as they have the potential to become just a rolling litany of tragedy. Music connects with us on a visceral level and has great power to move and tug at our hearts.


As part of my series featuring the rising stars in the music industry, I had the pleasure of interviewing David Eagle from The Young’uns. The British trio The Young’uns have always had the human touch. In the space of little more than a decade — and just six years after giving up their day jobs — they have become one of the UK’s folk music’s hottest properties and best- loved acts. They clinched the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards ‘Best Group’ title two years running (2015 and 2016) and the last years have seen them spreading the net, taking their unique act and instant audience rapport to Canada, Australia and now to America.
