Growing up, folk music was always my favourite genre of music. My parents played it a lot around the house, and I was exposed to it almost daily. I’m still a huge fan of the genre, and hearing it combined with other musical elements is something that really excites me. The Unthanks do exactly this, and have completely mastered it. The duo, the Unthank sisters, have two incredibly studio albums under their belt, and are well known for pitting on an awesome show.
As well as their incredible vocal skills and ability to harmonise in a seemingly effortless manner, both all of the band members play an instrument, and they bring out an eclectic combination of tunes from their respective instruments in each track. Seeing them live was awesome, as we were able to see them switch between complex instruments, and it’s incredibly magical to watch this happen before your eyes.
They played a great variety of their tracks from both Here’s The Tender Coming, and Last, and when they played A Great Northern River, they got everyone on their feet, which was a great experience, and it made the audience totally immersed with the show.
