Braw Trails are back and it’s with great pleasure we can announce a very special night of music with one of the most enigmatic and prolific songwriters working in the UK underground, Richard Youngs.

With hundreds of solo and collaborative releases on countless labels (including his own “No Fans” label) Richard’s music has been heaped with accolades since the 1990’s. Whether through his collaborations with the likes of Simon Wickham-Smith, Jandek, Neil Campbell or Makoto Kawabata, or in his solo work encompassing the starkest minimalism, lush acapella and acoustic balladry, Richard adds a touch of humanity to any project he’s involved with - a rare thing in the sterile surroundings of the experimental scene.

Despite his longstanding reservations about live performance, Richard has been blessing audiences with more and more live gigs, mostly in his hometown of Glasgow. This will be a very rare chance to see him perform two sets in one night, one purely vocal and another accompanied with guitar.

Anyone who caught his recent scuzzed-out performance at The 78, opening the Music is The Music Language festival, will know not to miss this gig. The show will take place in the intimate confines of The Canon’s Gait Pub (at Richard’s request); there will be no support, and an intermission between the sets.

19th November. 8pm.
The Canon’s Gait, 232 Canongate. Edinburgh.
