Unthanks "Unaccompanied-As We Are"
+ Jane
Willow
Doors 8pm - Tickets €25
Where does a band go, after a symphonic journey
that peaks with orchestral performances at
the Royal Festival Hall and Royal Albert Hall?
Back to the beginning of course. Before fronting
one of the most artistically brave and revered
bands working today, Tyneside sisters Rachel
and Becky Unthank grew up singing songs without
accompaniment, in weaving, unschooled vocal
harmony. As if to prove that creativity should
never be about ambition or aspiration, The
Unthanks move on from their recent orchestral
explorations by going back to what they know
and do best - singing in unaccompanied harmony
- joined on this tour by Unthanks member Niopha
Keegan to make a vocal trio.
