Richard Youngs is a highly prolific and diverse musician. Born in Harpenden, England and based in Glasgow since the early '90s, his extensive back catalogue of solo and collaborative work began in 1990 with Advent. His music demonstrates a very idiosyncratic writing style, with songs often centered around a small clutch of repeated musical and lyrical phrases, a strategy likely born of a desire to reduce the form to its most powerful core elements. Throughout his career, Richard has recorded for over a dozen independent record labels, with VHF releasing much of his collaborative work and Jagjaguwar issuing the lion's share of his recent solo albums.
Richard will play a 'greatest hits' set before closing the evening by delivering 'Beyond the Valley of Ultrahits' in its entirety to celebrate the forthcoming Jagjaguar reissue.
