The Unthanks with Brighouse and Rastrick Brass
17 August 2012
York Minster
Described by The Guardian as 'Haunting, original and magnificent' Mercury nominated Tyneside band The Unthanks have a peerless approach to folk music. Their paradoxical journey of staunch traditionalism and sonic adventure continues with a collaboration with Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band; the National Champions of Great Britain, regarded by many as the best and most consistent public subscriptions band in the world.

With a focus on the song-book of the coal mining industry, The Unthanks will sing material from their past and current repertoire with arrangements re-imagined for the massed ranks of "Briggus', as well as material specially written and arranged for this project. Following a premier at 2011 Durham Cathedral, a hugely successful tour and a show steeling performance at The BBC Folk Awards The Unthanks and Brighouse and Rastrick return for a series of very special shows in support of their soon to be released album.

An inspired marriage of parallel northern folk music traditions - The Times

This musical collaboration is nothing short of a wonderful breath of fresh air - 4Bars Rest
