Serious Child

“I am about to utter the most fearsome words in folk,” says Alan Young, aka Serious Child. “This is a song about my grandmother – and it’s a singalong.” - Arts Republic

Songwriter and roots musician Serious Child hails from an old wood in West Sussex. He draws from a wide range of acoustic musical influences from folk to pop to bossa nova to explore the world around us with a poet’s ear for emotion and a comedian’s eye for everyday detail.

His most recent album, Talk About The Weather (with Andy Ruddy) was shortlisted for Fatea Album of the Year.
