UK DEBUT SINGLE AND TOUR FROM DUBLIN FAVOURITES THE YOUNG FOLK
Widely-tipped Irish alt-folk band The Young Folk will release their UK debut single ‘Way Home’ on 26th May, 2014, on Pixie Pace Records, and precede the release with their first ever UK tour.
The release of Way Home marks the next step in the career of the Dublin four-piece. Having signed an international publishing deal with ARC Music UK, The Young Folk have spent the past eighteen-months recording their debut album The Little Battle and playing notable live dates, including Electric Picnic, The Cambridge Folk Festival, Midem, SXSW, The Stampede City Sessions in Canada, and opening for American folk-rock band Midlake during their American tour at the end of 2013.
Comprising of Anthony Furey (guitar, vocals), Tony McLaughlin (bass, mandolin), Paul Butler (keyboards) and Karl Hand (drums), The Young Folk have appeared on established national TV shows in Ireland, including RTE’s The Saturday Night Show and TV3’s Ireland AM, and had their music feature on a national advertisement campaign for Jameson Irish Whiskey.
In addition, The Young Folk have received plaudits from the Irish press; The Evening Herald declared band as “an accomplished musical aggregate that join the microdots between Villagers, Noah & The Whale and old Greenwich Village Kweskin Jug Band. This is folk in Cuban heels.” Hot Press described the band as “serious challengers for the area populated by the likes of Fleet Foxes, Mumford and Sons and The Low Anthem.”, while Dubliner Magazine labelled the band as “one of the most promising young Irish bands of recent years”.
Regularly packing out some of Ireland's best concert venues, The Young Folk will be bringing their raw energy and passion to the UK when they undertake a string of live dates to support the release of ‘Way Home’, before preparing for the release of their debut album The Little Battle in August 2014.
