Aldeburgh Music

Steeped in the heritage of their native Northumberland but reaching far beyond the traditional folk world, Rachel Unthank and the Winterset return with a shorter name (The Unthanks), expanded forces, an acclaimed new album, but the same captivating blend of traditional melodies and original songs. Sisters Becky and Rachel’s haunting vocals are underpinned by a lush sophisticated instrumental backing in a bewitching brand of bittersweet
melancholia, leavened with dashes of wry humour. Original and unforgettable.

‘Even more satisfying, compelling and varied than the Mercury-nominated The Bairns. Haunting, original and magnificent’ **** The Guardian
