The Young'uns and friends gather round a piano to perform some interesting pop songs. We return to Holland to bring you more observations regarding Dutch culture, including the musical tastes of Dutch chavs, the toilet habits of Dutch men and some information about Dutch law. There's the obligatory report from an Indian restaurant as we sample our most adventurous dish yet. What's Martin Carthy's favourite TV programme, we have exclusive news about the exciting new addition to the Imagined Village, and could folk music be the new cricket? Our featured folk group is the Tea Cups (the artists formerly known as the Dirty Tea cups); two songs and an interview with them. There's also music from the Spooky Men's Chorale and the Young'uns are joined by Jackie Oates, Ruth Notman and Joan Crump for a Peter Bellamy shanty.


The Young'uns Podcast: 106 (the Itch of the Golden Nit)

The Itch of the Golden Nit is a film
produced by
Aardman Animations
(the people behind
Wallace & Gromit)
and is the creation of thousands of UK-based children. The children chose the celebrities that they wanted to feature in the film.
David Walliams,
Catherine Tate
and
Miranda Hart
are just some of the big names starring in the film. But perhaps most tellingly - indicating that this future generation is clearly going to be a much more enlightened lot - the Young'uns were also asked to appear. Of course it was the children who chose us; not some ignorant researcher who assumed that The Young'uns (based purely on the name) were a folk group consisting of children, only to find out the truth a bit too late once we'd signed the contract.

Some people in the folk world may accuse the Young'uns of selling out, ditching mining songs and ballads about ship wrecks for the more commercially viable (and much more lucrative) film soundtrack work. This is of course complete nonsense. How could we have said no to those children? They would be heart broken if their number one celebrity choices snubbed them. Such a disappointment could destroy a whole generation, and could be the root source of future criminality and warfare. So we accepted - for the kids you understand, and for the stability of our planet - and did the song on the film.

For those people who are still not convinced and are crying "sell outs", take heart in the knowledge that the money we generated from the project went to good causes that folkies in this country will wholeheartedly support: the majority went straight into the real ale industry, namely the real ale tents at folk festivals - and we were happy to hand this money over in person whilst maybe having a couple of samples of each real ale, just to make sure that we were definitely giving to a good cause. The rest of the money went to
Seth Lakeman;
and you can't say that's not a good cause.

The song that we sang for this film was about smelly pirates with hairy knees, and we were singing alongside
Vick Reeves
who played the pirate. You can hear anecdotes about our filming experience, plus the song itself. We also speak to the film's musical composer,
John Brown
who worked with children all over the country to create the songs. Jim Molyneux from the folk group
4Square
played the drums on the smelly pirate song. We'll be talking to him about the film and about his group 4Square. We also have music from 4Square and another live performance from the Young'uns.

Plus: What do female Morris dancers get up to in toilets?; a live musical performance from a choir who we happened upon in a takeaway; The Young'uns have a new idea for a cover song to add to their set (see what you think), and there's another report from an Indian restaurant.

This week's Young'uns podcast is a bit of a rollercoaster. In the emotional sense: as the podcast will inevitably have a big build up, only to come suddenly crashing down, leaving you feeling a bit sick and sore. But in addition to that allegorical rollercoaster, we feature an actual rollercoaster on the podcast (so I hope you appreciate the brilliance of that opening sentence; It works on so many levels - a bit like a rollercoaster really.)
Good news Mr. Harding; the audio treats continue. Following on from the roaring - or rumbling - success of the stomach noises item, we take things to their logical conclusion and move on to snoring.
Michael Hughes makes a urinal based observation.
Our special folky guest is
Gavin Davenport.
We'll be finding out what makes him tick - although we won't be bringing you the audio of that ticking on this week's podcast (maybe next time). and We'll also hear a couple of songs from him.
The Young'uns are joined at the Gate to Southwell festival by Doctor Who and the Daleks.
It's an unwritten rule (although that's about to change because I'm about to write it) that the Young'uns must have at least one Indian meal at every festival or gig they do. This week is no exception, and so we bring you the first in a series of reports from an Indian restaurant.
So I hope that all that curries favour with you (and yes that was a deliberate pun).

Listen

The new summer series of the Young'uns podcast is here:

This week, we speak to Michael Hughes as he gets his feet eaten by fish; Mike shamelessly flirts with a woman cooking bacon just to get an extra rasher; we attempt an interview with a none-moving statue; are the Young'uns gay? We reveal all - possibly to each other. Plus: an escaping infirm cat, stomach noises and top tips for perverts. "But what about the folk?" (Well, if you insist.) There's also recorded material taken from the Young'uns at Hardraw, Liverpool and Peterborough.


The Young’uns Podcast: 103 (Hartlepool Tall Ships Festival 2010)

Listen.
Download.

Description: In 2010, The Young'uns' Sean Cooney committed a terrible act that we really can't talk about. His sentence was to organise a folk event as part of Hartlepool's tall ships festival alongside Hartlepool borough Council with oodles of red tape and risk assessment forms. Sean took this great responsibility like a man and did Hartlepool and the folk community proud, hosting an incredible event with an amazing list of performers. This Young'uns Podcast aims to capture the joys of the festival through recorded performances, interviews and various random happenings that took place over the festival.

There's music from Polish Shanty group
Brasy,
world folk from
Sheelanagig,
Mrs Trevor's Deep Freeze Secrets,
the Askew Sisters,
Paul martin and Ian Mckoen. Plus there's world-class kazoo playing from a children's marching band; find out what folk musicians get up to late at night; we expose the folk group that have launched an attack on the blind; Michael Hughes dices with the law; The Young'uns get involved in some interesting collaborations, and of course there's the obligatory smattering of puns. I could go on, but what's the point when you can find out for yourself.


The Young’uns Podcast: 102 (Hild’s Tales)

Listen.
Download.

Description: The Young'uns have been involved in a number of educational projects, teaching children about the history of Hartlepool and working with the children to create songs about what they have learned. We also take the children to visit old people's homes and local churches to meet with Hartlepool's older residents. The children ask questions about how their home town used to be and what has changed. This podcast features music, poetry and drama from Hartlepool primary school children, plus oral history from Hartlepool's older residents.

All good things must come to an end, But even those things that aren't particularly good (including ridiculous, obsured Podcasts) must come to an end. And so, as the Young'uns Podcast reaches it's 100th episode, it's time to say goodbye. But it would be a bit of a disappointing and pointless podcast if we just said goodbye - it would hardly be worth plugging in the microphone for just one word - and so we lengthen the procedure out a bit by speaking with some of the people who have helped make the podcast what it is! (yes, I'm sharing the blame.)
So it's farewell to Big Nige, adieu to Trevor Lister, auf wiedersehen
to Trevor Bond, au revoir to Brian Luffbrough, sayonara to Martin Nesbitt, ciao to Irene Archer, adios to Sean Cooney and...er, er...Tot ziens to Michael Hughes (thank god for google translator). We also take a journey through the Young'uns Podcast archive, playing snippets from each episode. It'll be a highly emotional affair. But try and control your excitement, there's still over an hour's worth of Young'uns Podcast nonsense still left to endure.
