The Unthanks & Brighouse and Rastrick Band
T653663477
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 for BRASS 2011 with Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band; the National Champions of Great Britain, regarded by many as the best and most consistent public subscription band in the world. With a focus on the folk songbook 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'. They will also perform material especially 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.
