Anyone who’s encountered the Young Fathers recently will tell you to be prepared for something really big. Something unforgettable. Songs that pack a punch hit, that hit you from the very first bursts of tribal drums, capable of making your body move before you even realise it’s happening. Magnetic and virtuoso musicians, they take turns on the mike and take turns captivating us, moving across the stage with feline grace. Endorsed by Massive Attack, this trio from Glasgow is unlike any other band, be it in their atypical origins (some members have roots in Nigeria and Liberia), or in their career path (their 2014 debut album saw them win the prestigious Mercury Prize), or even the way their music (four albums in total) is a collision of hip-hop, trip-hop and pop.
