The Unthanks

Band, *2004 GB, Newcastle upon Tyne
World and Folk

English folk group from Tyneside in Northumberland founded by sisters Rachel Unthank and Becky Unthank (Rachel is the elder sister by 7.5 years). They were originally called Rachel Unthank & The Winterset but changed their name in 2009 when Rachel's manager and husband Adrian McNally, previously their producer, joined as a musician as well. Alongside their traditional folk roots they are also noted for the breadth of their collaborations, which have taken them well beyond the folk sphere, as well as presenting TV documentaries about the English folk tradition. Their first album, 'Here's the Tender Coming', was voted Folk Album of 2009 by the Guardian newspaper and by Mojo magazine. George Unthank is Rachel and Becky's father.
