Three time BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winners The Young’uns present a new and
unique piece of modern folk theatre.
The Ballad of Johnny Longstaff is the story of one man’s adventure from begging on
the streets in the north of England to fighting against fascism in the Spanish Civil War,
taking in the Hunger Marches and the Battle of Cable Street. It’s a timely, touching
and often hilarious musical adventure following the footsteps of one working class
hero who witnessed some of the momentous events of the 1930s. With their
trademark harmony, honesty and humour the Teesside trio bring together 16
specially composed songs, spoken word, striking imagery and the real recorded voice
of Johnny himself to tell a remarkable human story oozing with modern relevance.

Touring January & February 2019.
