Richard Youngs on this recording: "The Old Angel, Nottingham, 1990.:
"For reasons that escaped me now, I'd hoarded 171 used train tickets. It felt like a cool idea to read them out. So I did. Not in the privacy of my own home, but to an audience. They seemed to enjoy it..."

Youngs has beeb described "grand-meister of contemporary British improv, spiritual son of Eddie Prevost and Maddy Prior| gentle manipulator of English hymn-notics and religious incantations| protege, challenger and radicaliser of folk, blues, rock, minimalism and improvisation| translator for the sea and the rain and the sky| ambassador to war and peace, to love and anguish" - Melody Maker 1996.
