Back around 1970 (I was 13) I heard Traffic doing "John Barley Corn Must Die" on the radio. I grew up in the 60's listening to mom and dads collection of folk music but had no idea that lots of that was from England (also I loved folk played in a minor scale).By 1978 I probably had most of Sleeleye Spans LP's. About a year ago I was looking for a fan video of "Starless" by King Crimson.I ran across Starless By the Unthanks thinking 'must be a goth band....I'll give it a listen'.Been listening intently since :-) \
You probably dont care at all but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the password. I would love any tips you can offer me
@Jacoby Theo Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
these two with the band are the real thing coca cola is just a poor substitute came across this band by total accident and very glad i did love them lots....nuff said!!
I think your dress as you perform evoke and help take us back to a time when the songs you sing were more popular or maybe back before even radio. Plus I suspect you sister both possess old souls
@Derucolindo that was a mistake :) english folk music does get ignored because most peoples image of the english is posh victorians not exactly the case
Your upbringing (_their_ upbringing- you know what I mean!) sounds a lot like mine! I've been going to folk festivals for longer than I can remember too! I can remember at my local festival- the year I got a pomotion from head chair shifter, (two or three times a day- from concert to ceilidh to workshop etc) to trainee arm band checker... I got a strange pang of instant nostalgia, pride and jealousy when I snuck in to see the new head(_there was only ever one._ Hehehe) chair shifter. Aaahh~ :) Didn't know Rachel was married!.. Bugger. :D =EDIT= Forgot to say- This Paul Morley guy seems a bit... Don't know. Well, dunno how to say it nicely, so; I wont.
Love the King Crimson cover. Wonderful. Cute funny English accents. Good stuff team. I play in a band with my twin brother. So familial bands always please me in some way. :)
@pwpurnell I disagree, and think he was giving them a lot of respect in a serious interview, and they seemed to be pleased with the way it was going throughout. Paul Morley isn't interested in mainstream culture, but in interesting and exciting new acts.
Well she does sing a little flat, but it does not bother me, it kind of adds to the color of the music. I love Jackie Mclean and he use to have this tendency to play sharp. Did not bother me at all.
The girls didn't seem to notice. Nor me. And his credentials as a music commentator far outweigh those of your proposed alternatives. And Danny Baker? Give us a break.
Fantastic! GENUINE no airs and graces Geordie lasses.
@Onyx Kaleb Somebody will be along soon to tell more fairytales about how easy it was.
real women and real music. great story telling, very moving....
lovely ladies - and amazing music :)
wonderful people and they make wonderful music.
Unthanks sisters wonderful as always. And surprisingly great interview from PM.
Unthank Sisters are fab!
Nice to put faces to the voices I’ve been listening to for more than a decade...

@Jacoby Theo It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out :D
@Leighton Marcellus no problem xD
Gorgeous vocals on "So To Speak" by Sting, Totally cool Ladies of the Tradition, walking in the steps of Ewan Mac Coll and Ralph Mc Tell, Halleluia.
These great storytellers...

these sisters could do a lot with the late Kirsty Mac Coll repertoire, God Bless Her.

Very talented.
They're fab.
Ahhh. Aren't they lovely.

Not ‘’most people’’ in England.

@LDN EDD precisely the opposite in the interview

@mrdog66
She supposed to sing a little flat. In music it's called anotating.

Very very annoying camera cuts.
@LstCowboy What's to admit? It's called 'anotating'.
Becky's really hot.
Emporer's new clothes strikes again. Can someone admit that Becky "sings" flat all the time!
