@@richardbamsey5242 Looking back on my life, I don't know how I managed to break away from the Billboard charts and sugary radio junk into this realm of criminally underappreciated magic like this, but I'm glad I'm here. At the same time, however, it's very bittersweet... I don't have anyone directly to share in my love for this kind of music in real life. :-( I wish others understood how music like this makes me feel.
These guys are a force of nature, ridiculously talented. It's like the essential "Celticism" of the northeast, the Old North, is having a dialogue with everything that has happened since. Then that clogging at the end! Spellbinding performance.
After years of following these amazing singers, I'm finally getting to see them live tomorrow evening at Folkestone... I can't wait! Just sad I have no one to share this with...
It's taken me a while to come around to this song, I started on Magpie from Detectorists, then have come around from Molly Drake, Robert Wyatt and many brilliant others to finally truly appreciate this song - and the clog dancing - in it's own right! As a child I used to take our 'large plaster chess set' wooden board out and pretend to tap dance on it, if I'd seen this then I would TOTALLY be doing this dancing! :)
they are awesome 21centuary rock and roll, me I love the because I'm from the 60's and the south coast ,check them out please, I know its not street its more lane, but so am i
Rarely does music make we want to weep, this is one song that does it every time. Sublime.
its not so easy when you love something nobody else gets

@@richardbamsey5242 What does that mean? Is that an exclusivity-snob complex you have?

Lizzie Jones = amazing!
The Unthanks secret weapon. Straight to the heart every single time.
Wow. It was amazing live at St. George's Hall too!
One of the most powerful pieces of music. Of any genre. Ever!
Fair play, that was great.
Without doubt one of the finest performances of a most beautiful song❤️

Indescribably beautiful...
What a band, what a place Northumberland, pure magic just like the land that produced these and many, many more fantfantastically talente people!
The land of Lindisfarne and Bede. I can't think of a better place for a group like this to emerge from
The Unthanks as allwaysbreaking my heart
Every song I hear by them is like a cleansing on my soul. I cry and cry and cry some more. Absolutely beautiful xX
I am not usually a fan of trumpet but this is stunning. Love everything about this.
I absolutely love this! It really makes my my heart hurt. Just fabulous - every second of it! X
If I'd been in that audience, when the big crescendo hits toward the end, I'm pretty sure I would have started to levitate or melt, or both.
One of the most sublime things I ever seen in music. Beautiful!

Jeff Ebdy - We saw them at Wimborn on Friday - unbelievable! Enjoy!!
I saw them last Thursday, for the 3rd time. I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did.

Is there better than this, I very much doubt it....sublime!
Wow.

So beautiful
Just simply stunning on so many levels. Thank you!

If you are in the UK, BBC iPlayer will be screening it for about 4 weeks. If not you could try using a VPN.
One of those ladies has been at the cup cakes or has a bun in the oven !!
