Young Fathers on Fungi, a fourth album and fun in Ireland 

The Scottish trio have a new record and an upcoming gig in Dublin 
Young Fathers on Fungi, a fourth album and fun in Ireland 

Young Fathers: Kayus Bankole, Alloysious Massaquoi, and Graham Hastings. 

Of all the gigs they’ve played in Ireland, Young Fathers have particularly nice memories of their trip to Dingle in 2014. “The Other Voices festival was just incredible, just how warm people were, recalls Alloysious Massaquoi, one of the Scottish trio.

Inevitably, mention of the Kerry town jolts a memory of its famous former resident. “Was it Fun-guy? Fungi, that's it, that was amazing.” Through other appearances at events such as Electric Picnic and Trabolgan’s It Takes A Village, Young Fathers have established a reputation as an electrifying live act, and have just released their fourth album.
