We are delighted to present Richard Youngs’ debut show on Tak Tent. Richard plays a selection purely a cappella tracks from a diverse range of musicians including Lizzie Higgins, Robert Wyatt, Peter Broderick and Furious Pig. There is some wonderful music here, some challenging, some meditative.
If you would like to find out more about Richard’s work, you can watch, listen, read and indeed shop at his website www.nofansrecords.com.
