I've become a huge fan of The Unthanks.

Previously called Rachel Unthank and the Winterset, they are an English folk group from Northumbria.

The new album is...can I say exquisite! Just love the voices.

They won a couple of major awards in the UK last year. And I know they toured Australia last year.

Any fans?

Never heard of them but will check them out.


PS - They look a bit like The Cors, on speed. Hopefully they don't sound like them.

Oh my goodness.

I have a sudden urge to put my finger in my ear....

Not bad... interesting....

I thought you meant the Aussie Unthanks who migrated to the Mornington Peninsula a long time ago. There are places named after them and decendants living in the area still. Book about the family too.

I saw Rachel live at WOMAD in NZ earlier this year and thought they were really good.
