Scarrow - faint light, reflection, the shadow of a crow or hill, the faint light from a wall. Something gleaming intermittently or indistinctly.ˈska(ˌ)rō. plural -s. Scots.
Scarrow is a collection of new songs which talk of hope, community and sharing light. More than ever we feel the need for connection and heartening experiences that people make together.

‘I love it when the fire is glowing

And bright the moonlight on the wall

I love it when the music’s flowing

And later when the talk is low’

Keep your eyes peeled for the video for the first single ’Take This Day’ which is out THIS FRIDAY!

If you were away on your holidays you might have missed our latest announce from Mhairi Hall & David de la Haye. Check out the latest singles from their upcoming release Underwater Cairngorms and pre-order the record today, out on Hudson Records 24.10.25.

We invite you dive into a unique underwater sonic journey of a selection of lochs from the Scottish Highlands. Underwater Cairngorms, the new album from award-winning composer Mhairi Hall and renowned field recordist David de la Haye, combines the mysterious underwater soundscapes of freshwater lochs with impressionistic piano composition. Underwater Cairngorms transforms our understanding of the Cairngorms landscape through imagination and creativity whilst documenting the environmental challenges of these freshwater locations. This unique collaboration between piano, harmonium, and underwater soundscape transports the listener to another world. Although sounding digitally processed, the album is almost entirely acoustic, from the resonance of the piano strings, the breath of harmonium bellows, the reverbs of lochs and the sounds of aquatic nature.

The 16th August 1819 - 60,000 people marched on Manchester centre to protest, advocating for parliamentary reform. Peter’s Field is the story of what happened next, written by Sean Cooney, with Eliza Carthy, Sam Carter & Jennifer Reid. The Road to Peter’s Field is the start of the journey, listen on the link below.

We are producing an all day event celebrating 20 years of The Young'uns!

Middlesbrough Town Hall - 15th November 2025

Featuring
• An evening concert with special guests Jez Lowe and Janice Burns & Jon Doran
• The Ballad of Johnny Longstaff - rare performance of our critically acclaimed theatre show
• YTV – our Lockdown TV show returns for a one-off special, with an array of guests and fun features.
• Family concert - in which we’ll be joined on stage by local young’uns to perform our favourite songs we’ve written with primary school kids over the years

One night in Stockton On Tees, three teenagers heard strange sounds coming from the backroom of a pub. They went in. They heard people singing songs they’d never heard before. Songs without instruments. Songs in their accents. Songs about places they knew. Folk songs. They joined in. Because they were the youngest ones there by several decades, they were soon labeled The Young Uns.

20 years on they’ve carried their unfortunate name around the world, from Sydney to Vancouver, from Radio Tees to Radio 4, won three BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, and gained a reputation for singing life-affirming songs of social conscience in immaculate three-part harmony. But as well as their 20th anniversary, Sean Cooney, Michael Hughes and David Eagle will each be celebrating their 40th birthdays on tour!

Last month’s club exclusive from Anna McLuckie & Stuart McCallum was an absolute gem. This project is a wonderful coming together of two great artists and we’re really happy that we can give it a first outing on the Hudson Club.

We’ll be sharing this month’s exclusive later this week so sign up today for just £10 a month and enjoy digital delights galore, 10% discount at our online shop and the joy of directly supporting independent music!
