An Unthanks Christmas is forever, not just for the season
It was the solstice of the year, a grey wet day in a deep and dark December, but with Sloane Square and the surrounds of Cadogan Hall lit by Christmas lights and more than bustling with throngs of eager – or at least impelled – shoppers hurrying about
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.‘
