Murray Lachlan Young Official Website ©2006

Hello venerable visitors and welcome to my web site. I have returned to the world of stand up poetry, spoken word and performance art. My eye is on the horizon and I am once again maintaining a fully stocked cheeseboard.
Please read on.

Murray Lachlan Young made his name as a writer performer in the Rock clubs and underground Cabaret venues of mid nineties London.

After being spotted at a sell out show at Ronnie Scots Jazz Club
delivering his unique blend of dark

satirical stand up verse and prose. He signed a deal with the new Herb Albert and Jerry Moss Label Almo Sounds. A turbulent year later in 1997 his contract was bought out by EMI UK.

After news of this new record deal worth One million pounds and subsequent deals with TRANSWORLD BOOKS, MTV USA and VIRGIN ATLANTIC. It was inevitable he would come to the attention of the world Media as the first spoken word artist to be given a priority deal by the mainstream music industry.

In an attempt to escape the hype and concentrate on his work Murray moved to Italy to release a translated copy of his book, vice and verse. Then on to Paris to take a lead role with Gerard Depardieu, Tim Roth and Uma Thurman in the Roland Joffi adaptation of the French Gastro legend VATEL.

On the conclusion of this project, he moved with his singer songwriter wife Zoë to a farm in rural Sussex where he scaled down public work to concentrate on his young family (two boys) and working on a new collection of verse and recording and producing new Cds.

He is now living in Cornwall where his is working on various projects including Modern Cautionary Tales For Children a new poetry cycle for children and a live touring show'.
