Youthful Teesside trio bring wit, harmonies and heartfelt songwriting
Alongside the likes of The Unthanks and The Mary Wallopers, the Stockton-on-Tees trio of Sean Cooney, Michael Hughes and David Eagle form a new generation making folk relevant for today.
Live, they combine relentless repartee with warm harmonies, though it is their heart-on-sleeve songwriting that stays long in the memory. Current album Tiny Notes finds hope and humanity in places of grief and despair, from London Bridge to Lockerbie, Derry to Aleppo.
