Welcome to The Young Ones Band!
Welcome to
The Young Ones Band Official Website!
|
Our style of music is instrumental, mainly guitar heavily influenced by The Shadows. Hank B. Marvin and Bruce Welch are among our greatest models. From a reliable source, we are the youngest Shadows tribute band in Scandinavia. We do like this kind of music, even when it is from the past millennium, 1960 -1970. Our aim is to take this style of music in to the future. The year we reached 13, (2005) we had 23 tunes on our repertoire.

Our experience at Shadowmania 2007 |

It has been several months since we where at Lakeside. All impressions have got time to sink in to us. We arrived at Potters International Hotel Thursday evening. It was a pity that Potters International Hotel was so fare away from Lakeside Complex. The bad side was that we got dependencies of two taxi's when travelling between the Potters and Lakeside hotels. Kathy and Roy Cresswell wished us welcome when we arrived at Lakeside International Hotel Friday after noon for sound check. (Kathy said she had heard about us?).
The sound check went out relatively OK. There was some sound disparity between the guitars and the drum pad. That was corrected when we performed later that evening. Marius had actually the biggest challenge, to manage the electronic drum pad for his first time. After about ten minutes at the sound check he managed that thing very well.
Later the same day at the social evening was a special experience for us when we performed for the “fans of the Shadows” in a fully packed room. And to know that Bruce Welch and several other Shadows musicians from “the past” were present was awesome. Our performance was at the last part of the evening program. When Kathy introduced us, she almost drowned in the applause from the audience? Several of them were present at the sound check earlier that day. Kathy ended the introduction with " - they have been playing Shadows for several years. You will be surprised when you hear them ". (Thanks Kathy!) |

The Young Ones At Shadowmania 2007 |

Hello Everyone,
Rob Bradford from England here. Just to say that the Young Ones gave a fantastic performance at the Friday night social event at Bruce Welch's Shadowmania.
In England we have a young band called The Foottappers (ages 12, 15, 17 and 19) who came to everyone's attention last year playing the music of the Shadows - they are going from strength to strength. Until last Friday, Norway's Young Ones remained one of Scandinavia's best kept musical secrets. Not any more. I was at the event to prepare my B/Ts for a few Shadows / Bruce Welch vocals (sorry boys - I see that a couple of them claim to dislike singing on the website!!!) for my own performance.
Anyway, I was there in the afternoon rehearsal when these young boys arrived with their guitars (& Marius had to quickly get used to a small electronic drum pad). Very few people knew who they were. Now, I've been following The Shadows for nearly 50 years (I started young!!). As soon as the boys started (seemingly very nonchalant) playing "Shadoogie" - I could tell what most of the readers of this site know already - that they had something really special. Not just musical ability - but the ability to communicate and play with real style. They have that indefinable quality which no-one can teach. As we say in England - they 'Blew me away'!!! Brilliant. They were ecstatically received in the evening show - which I hope gave them encouragement.
I can also tell everyone that I was standing not far away from Bruce Welch and he really enjoyed their excellent playing. Also, Colin Pryce - Jones (lead guitarist of the fantastic Rapiers) said that their playing (for ones so young) was outstanding.
I will certainly do all that I can to spread the word about this exciting young group and I can't wait to hear them play again sometime soon. |

Performance : The Norwegian Youth Festivals of Art (UKM) Bodø 2007 |

Finally we were in "Town" again. Well, in Bodoe, participating at the Norwegian Youth Festivals of Art (UKM) in the House of Culture. We show up Saturday for sound check. The first group entered the stage at 11:00. Our group started at 18:00 in the main hall. There were 39 bands on the list. The band before us dropped out. We entered the stage as band 28.
This time the sound was good and just enough smoke, in contrast to last year when there was more smoke then sound. The melody Messin' With the Kid with Tom-Emil on lead guitar went out to our satisfaction. We are satisfied with our performance.
Please find video clip from the session on our video player. Click on G03 Messin' With the Kid on the player.

Vi har deltatt i to år på rad og kommet videre til Bodø. Så hvorfor ikke i år også, fordi vi har det gøy og syns dette er bra. Blandt mange andre sambygdninger deltok vi på årets lokale UKM-uttaking på Moldjord kultursal, Beiarn. Vi ble tatt ut til UKMs fylkesmønstring i Bodø 13 - 15 april.
Vår første bassist, Inger Katrin, gikk også videre med sitt solonummer på sang.
Vi hadde litt startproblemer med "sjarken" (forsterkeren) til Ingar. Det ordnet seg etter hvert. I år stiller vi med melodien Messing With The Kids.

We took off for Bodoe early in the morning on the 7th of August to participate for our very first press conference at the NRK-building together with Jan Gunnar Hoff and Mike Stern concerning their next day concert. That where an experience of its own.
We brought our guitars along and did two Shadows tunes in the lobby for NRK radio P3.
After the interview at NRK P3 we vent to Bodoe Spektrum to have a closer look at the facilities together with Jan Gunnar and Mike, dragging with a NRK TV team behind.
It looks like the camera man where more busy about us then of Jan Gunnar and Mike when we where in Bodoe Spektrum. And some times the TV camera closes up upon us. That did not affect us much. May be this where a little taste of what we can expect one time in the future.
