A TRIO of musicians who won ‘Best Group’ at the BBC Folk Awards are set to appear at Durham’s Gala Theatre.

Teesside based The Young ‘uns, who consist of Sean Cooney, Michael Hughes and David Eagle, are embarking on a UK tour in April and will land at the Gala on the 30th of the month.

Before the concert they plan to take time away from rehearsals in order to take part in community events and have invited members of the public in Durham to come up with ideas.

Singer songwriter Sean Cooney said: “We've decided to try to live up to the tour name ‘Free For All’. “On as many afternoons as possible we'll be aiming to do something for free in or around the tour towns.

“We hope to celebrate the stories behind some of our songs in the places - and with the people - who inspired them, support the work of community groups and causes and sing in places of special local interest.”
