Please note: Info provided by the Event Organiser
When December draws near, The Unthanks will release and tour In Winter – a double-album, dream-like winter fantasia, embracing both the dark and the light in the most ritualistic of seasons.
Using the traditional music of the North East of England as a starting point, the influence of Miles Davis, Steve Reich, Sufjan Stevens, Robert Wyatt, Antony & The Johnsons, King Crimson, and Tom Waits makes The Unthanks a distinctive band, earning them a Mercury Music Prize nomination and international praise along the way.
The Unthanks
Tyneside sisters Rachel and Becky Unthank with Niopha Keegan (violin), Adrian McNally (piano) plus string quartet, brass, percussion and bass. Rachel and Becky's folk-club singing is set against otherwordly musical pictures, arranged by a band with influences ranging from Steve Reich to Portishead. They have received great critical acclaim, various nominations and awards from the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, a Mercury Prize nomination and an 'album of the year' accolade from both MOJO Magazine and The Guardian. 'Haunting, original and magnificent' (The Guardian) 'Rachel and Becky's voices are one of the true wonders of 21st-century music' (NME).
