What can i say? I sailled for 5 years and saw much of the world. My 20+ year partner died last January. He loved all the Worzel Gummidges, that Mackenzie Crook produced. But most of all he loved the music. We played Farewell Shanty st the funetal. Thank you so much
Xx
So glad to have found you ❤
My life has changed. To think I'd never heard of the Unthanks a mere hour ago.
Just came across this first time. Very nice songs 11th February 2022.. Thank you for sharing 💜❤️🙋😽🇬🇧 Beautiful music and singing.🥰
The Unthanks beauty doesn't decay .. it runs so deep.
I will never tire of these girls and the brilliant band.
So great to see a performance of “what can a song do to you”. Wonderful musicianship all round.
We'd never heard of them until we heard their truly stunning background music for Worzel Gummidge at Christmas. We are now utterly hooked.
Yes. They'll get you that way. I hope you'll get all their albums. All absolutely wonderful and an amazing live band too. 10 times I've seen them live in 3 years
@@richardrobertson583 We'd love to see them, but the only way at the moment is to go over to Dublin later this year. We'll wait til they're back down the south of England and get an album or 2. Love them a capella or with the fabulous music. Either way, legends.
@@patrickcoffey6575 at the moment I guess there's no new product to promote and Becky and Niopha have babies, well I think they're still under 2 so some time out for new mums. If you're new to Unthanks albums, let me offer a little guide.
There are two albums under the name Rachel Unthank and the Winterset. They are 'Cruel Sister' and 'The Bairns'.
Four Unthanks albums. 'Here's the Tender Coming' 'Last' 'Mount the Air' and 'Archive Treasures'
There's also the four 'Diversions' albums. These are either collaborations or commissioned works.
And finally there is the 'Lines' trilogy. Three mini lps celebrating the words of women, usually in struggle or times of war
There's also a Dvd of footage but this might be harder to find as it was part of the 10 year anniversary 'Memory Box' collection
All are absolutely excellent, but I won't pick a favourite so not to sway you as there's 15 years of work and they are all individual
Finally Becky Unthank collaborated on an album called 'Crows Bones' by Martin Green. An unsettling listen but beautiful in its way
So welcome to the fan base. There are many wonders ahead for you and enjoy the journey my friend
@@patrickcoffey6575 just noticed. You're South of England. Me too! I am in Hampshire

Thanks for this list! Aren't they a joy to hear!
This music touched me somewhere inside, somewhere and every time I hear these voices.............. Great!!!!! Thanks!!!
What a stunning performance. I could listen to this time and time again.
from the first time I heard them to now, they never cease to amaze me and touch my heart. Soul food indeed!
Wow, that was - I mean, wow... Just beautiful -
Great appreciation to Unthanks to discover Molly Drake's (Nick Drake's mother's) music and words from so many years ago and perform it.. I don't know anything similar to this.. other than the setting to music of the words left and unpublished by Sandy Denny including the previous words she wrote for her infant daughter before Sandy fell down the stairs in 1978...
Just saw them at Folk by the Oak in Hatfield. Refreshing and brilliant.
Music that goes through your body and soul so pure love it
They are amazing, Becky's voice is out of this world.
Remember talking to someone from Lindisfarne (the band) and they were told they'd never make it in the states 'coz they didn't sound American enough, god knows what they'd make of the fabulous sounds of the Unthanks, they're loss! Long live Northumbria.
if that doesn't give you goose bumps check your pulse
it does, it does. Rest assured.
loved them from the very start ..
Cripes! Bloody marvellous!
Just makes me cry and cry
This is beautiful!
Absolutely stunning! Starless tingles my spine every time.
Beguiling -- first heard on The Detectorists in that magical interlude - just found out today they played here in Cheltenham one week ago!.
Fresh new sound in folk. Love it!
Absolutely stunning performance.
Outstanding
brilliant to hear them on the detectorists tonight, great tv for those who get it goose bumps
Detectorists have led me to my enduring love for the music of Johnny Flynn, and now to my new love the Unthanks. To Mackenzie Cross, thanks for enriching my life!
WasabiWaits4No1 same here!
Das bin ich , nüchtern und suchend....
I love the voices and this musical mood. Definitely! 💙🎶
Beautifull, thank you
Brilliant.
Extraordinario. Los escucho seguido. Felicidades
amazingly wonderful music! love it!
Goosebumps a plenty!
WOW! Geez, how long did it take me to find them.
Clogs oot for the lads!
stuff me thanks for that post love it
Super
What's the song at 30mins in called please? Thanks a bunch in advance! Fantastic work.
Felton Lonnin from the Bairns album
Showing my ignorance, but what is the instrument being played during Magpie?
Thanks, before seeing this performance I thought it could have been a hurdy-gurdy
A hurdy gurdy is a guitar -like instrument, operated by turning a wheel at the far end.
I guess, i'm a bit late. But if you're still interested, it's a harmonium or reed organ.
Extreme, I guess but if Boudicca had released on vinyl. No disrespect to Iceland, but we have history to
Wtf r u on about
A great travesty that that the inane advertising material is so insensitivity placed in mid song. Maybe this is just a Google " thing" here in kittle Australia. Thankfully we have all of The Unthanks music without the nauseating ads!!🙄🙄
