UK Tour / Show #8 / Derby

We finally made our way to our last stop of the tour, Derby. We were playing as a part of a folk festival at a venue called Mr Shaw’s House, it’s a lovely venue in the centre of Derby and everyone there was really great. We playing along with two other solo acts ‘Wandering Nomad’ and ‘Graveyard Cop’, who managed to play covers of both Elliot Smith and Radiohead. We played our set and everyone listened, including the security guard who invited us to his house music party in Derby this month... which we had to unfortunately decline. We finished, packed up our stuff and finally made our way to our accommodation, which was the worst we’ve had all tour, maybe ever, but you’ll have to ask us about that in person, otherwise we won’t have anything interesting to tell you. 

The UK tour is done. I’m glad we made it through and that I got to see so many great new places and play with my best friends. Over and out.

Here's the last recording from this mini series. It's a new song called Take The Knife from our upcoming album, which is out in 18 days, so here's a sneak peak for y'all! Performed at Mr Shaw's House, Derby (09/10/2026).

For fellow MP3 users I've tagged and compiled all the recordings from this batch into a ZIP file for download (88 Mb), so you can listen to those on your iPods, brickphones or add them to your evergrowing file collections. Warning: quality and levels may vary, for enjoyers of grungy live recordings only!

Thanks to everyone who pays attention to what we're doing, it means a lot.

UK Tour / Show #7 / Cleethorpes

Our train to Cleethorpes took us straight to the seaside. We walked along the promenade and right on the seafront was a small café/venue called the living room. We were playing with Owen who performed solo on an acoustic guitar. We played a quieter set without the drummachine and synthesiser. We are all very tired, both physically but also mentally. Our days are filled with travelling and organising and sometimes the total amount of music you get to do in a day on tour is so small that it can be frustrating. We made it through though and everyone in Cleethorpes was very lovely and supportive. We got fish and chips and mushy peas as well as a veggie breakfast in a local café the next morning. We ended the trip in the arcades, trying to use up our pennies in the machines where you try and get the 2p coins to drop down... we managed to win one lolly pop. We also played a game of Snakes and Ladders on the seafront, Mára vs. Pája, Mára vs. Iris, Iris vs. Pája, Mára vs. Pája’s Nokia brick phone.

Here's Weeping Town from The Living Room, Cleethorpes (08/10/2026). I had to choose this one, because it's the first time we've played it in a year or more.

Ida The Young

(the correct name of our band with the capital T)

We're an indie folk/alt rock band from the Czech Republic. Some time ago our lead singer Iris moved to Pilsen and met our guitarist Marek. They decided to start making music together and were gradually joined by their mutual friends Pavel, Jakub and Filip (aka Slajmr Slajm). We like to play around with different textures and genres, initially leaning into the more folky side of things and eventually starting to explore electricity. Our first releases were published by the Ostrava⁠–⁠based Korobushka Records, and our newest album Seeing In Reverse will be released on Day After Records.

While you're reading this we're probably touring somewhere around Europe in our van, which hopefully isn't broken, packed with guitars, keys, things to hit with sticks and musical⁠–⁠road⁠–⁠ready food. Catch us on the road, listen to our music or dive deep into this website...

Lots of love,

Ida The Young
