ACDC - The Young Brothers

The Young Brothers

Malcolm (Born 1/6/53) and Angus (Born 3/31/59) were the youngest of eight born to William and Margaret Young in Glasgow Scotland. Next was George, whose own musical successes would be a major influence on the careers of brothers Malcolm and Angus. Slightly older was Alex, a professional musician in his own right, in the pre-Beatle era of Glasgow Scotland.
Life in this working class town in a down economy was rough. It was impossible to get work and provide for eight under those economic conditions. At the time Australia was actively promoting immigration to fill job positions and offered families the opportunity to sail South to the land "Down Under" for the equivalent of only 25 dollars per person. Many working class families took the opportunity as did the Young family and emigrated to Australia in 1963.
