Bio
The Unthanks is an English folk group from Northumberland, known for an eclectic approach in combining traditional English folk with other musical genres. Featuring siblings Rachel Unthank and Becky Unthank, the group was, from 2004 to 2009, initially known as Rachel Unthank & The Winterset.
Every show The Unthanks perform is something special but add a sprinkle of December magic into the mix and it becomes the greatest carol concert you’ve ever attended.
It's been a busy weekend for The Unthanks as they celebrate the reissue of three of their early albums, ‘The Bairns', ‘Here's The Tender Coming‘ and ‘Last.‘
There was a North East musical invasion at the weekend with both Durham’s anarcho-pop-punkers Martha and Northumberland’s The Unthanks playing sold out shows last Saturday.
Ever since emerging into the critical limelight as Rachel Unthank and the Winterset with 2007’s Mercury-nominated The Bairns, singing sisters Rachel and Becky and their band have rarely stood still.
