About the show
Braw Gigs is over the moon to announce “An Evening with Richard Youngs” in Edinburgh on 23rd January. He will be performing two sets with an intermission at the Pianodrome in Bruntsfield. The show will be in the round utilising the natural sound and reverberation in the hall.
It goes without saying that Richard is probably one of the most enigmatic and fascinating underground musicians of the last 30 years, having cut his teeth initially in the Cambridge experimental scene in the early 90s before moving to Glasgow full time. He’s collaborated with the likes of Jandek, Damon & Naomi, Neil Campbell, the A-Band and countless others. You may have also seen him singing and playing keys in Glasgow supergroup AMOR with the likes of Michael Francis-Duch, Luke Fowler and Paul Thomson.
Our very first evening with Richard was way back in September 2011 in the Canon’s Gait Pub - so it’s only taken us 16 years to do another one. Here’s a rare chance to catch Richard performing two unique sets on a wintery Saturday night in the Capital, it'll be well worth the wait.
Featuring - Richard Youngs
Over the last four decades Richard Youngs has sealed his reputation as one of the most uncompromising and eclectic experimental figures in the UK underground. Born in Cambridge and now living in Glasgow, his prolific work - released on labels such as Jagjaguwar and his own No Fans imprint - has covered everything from primitive folk ballads to fragmented minimalist soundscapes, fizzing industrial works to avante-garde synth pop. Alongside his solo work he has appeared in bands such as Astral Social Club, Concrete Hedge, No Deserts, Jandek and Future Pilot A.K.A, and has spent time collaborating with the likes of Matthew Bower, Andrew Paine, Luke Fowler, Heatsick, Kawabata Makoto and John Clyde-Evans.
