The 1960s Young Tradition apparently was formed by chance when Peter Bellamy and Royston Wood met when they were camping on a friend's floor, and started making harmonies together. Heather Wood (no relation to Royston) ran into them at a folk club and just joined in from the audience. Their harmonies, owe much to The Copper Family , but also came from their other musical loves. For Royston, it was classical music. For Heather, it was the Everly Brothers and years of school and church choirs.

The more recent Young Tradition consists of Californian-based songwriter Brent Kenji of The Guild League and Swedish musician Erik Hanspers, collaborating remotely through the post and the internet. They have released an EP, California Morning, and an album, Northern Drive, on Matinée Recordings.
