weather talking

‘‘Talk About The Weather’ is the first single to be taken from a forthcoming album of the same name…

“The phrase ‘talk about the weather’ has become symbolic for us in terms of doing this album together.

The writing process has worked well because we both have given it our all. It is a very even and joyful collaboration.”

Serious Child is indie folk musician Alan Young, who lives in the oak woods of West Sussex.

His education was in mathematics, and then a PhD in computational physics, followed by a career in IT, but his obsession was always with music. He wrote his first proper song when he was 50 years old and shortly after set about recording his debut album ‘Empty Nest’.

At the launch gig for the album he decided there and then that his time in IT was over. The album received great critical acclaim and his second album ‘Time In The Trees’ followed soon after.
