What can i say? I sailled for 5 years and saw much of the world. My 20+ year partner died last January. He loved all the Worzel Gummidges, that Mackenzie Crook produced. But most of all he loved the music. We played Farewell Shanty st the funetal. Thank you so much

Thanks for this list! Aren't they a joy to hear!
I will never tire of these girls and the brilliant band.
So great to see a performance of “what can a song do to you”. Wonderful musicianship all round.
We'd never heard of them until we heard their truly stunning background music for Worzel Gummidge at Christmas. We are now utterly hooked.
Yes. They'll get you that way. I hope you'll get all their albums. All absolutely wonderful and an amazing live band too. 10 times I've seen them live in 3 years
@@richardrobertson583 We'd love to see them, but the only way at the moment is to go over to Dublin later this year. We'll wait til they're back down the south of England and get an album or 2. Love them a capella or with the fabulous music. Either way, legends.
@@patrickcoffey6575 at the moment I guess there's no new product to promote and Becky and Niopha have babies, well I think they're still under 2 so some time out for new mums. If you're new to Unthanks albums, let me offer a little guide.
There are two albums under the name Rachel Unthank and the Winterset. They are 'Cruel Sister' and 'The Bairns'.
Four Unthanks albums. 'Here's the Tender Coming' 'Last' 'Mount the Air' and 'Archive Treasures'
There's also the four 'Diversions' albums. These are either collaborations or commissioned works.
And finally there is the 'Lines' trilogy. Three mini lps celebrating the words of women, usually in struggle or times of war
There's also a Dvd of footage but this might be harder to find as it was part of the 10 year anniversary 'Memory Box' collection
All are absolutely excellent, but I won't pick a favourite so not to sway you as there's 15 years of work and they are all individual
Finally Becky Unthank collaborated on an album called 'Crows Bones' by Martin Green. An unsettling listen but beautiful in its way
So welcome to the fan base. There are many wonders ahead for you and enjoy the journey my friend
@@patrickcoffey6575 just noticed. You're South of England. Me too! I am in Hampshire
@@richardrobertson583 That was quite exhaustive. Thanks a lot. Discovered them a few weeks ago and am hooked since then.
This music touched me somewhere inside, somewhere and every time I hear these voices.............. Great!!!!! Thanks!!!
Music that goes through your body and soul so pure love it
What a stunning performance. I could listen to this time and time again.
Wow, that was - I mean, wow... Just beautiful -
from the first time I heard them to now, they never cease to amaze me and touch my heart. Soul food indeed!
Great appreciation to Unthanks to discover Molly Drake's (Nick Drake's mother's) music and words from so many years ago and perform it.. I don't know anything similar to this.. other than the setting to music of the words left and unpublished by Sandy Denny including the previous words she wrote for her infant daughter before Sandy fell down the stairs in 1978...
Remember talking to someone from Lindisfarne (the band) and they were told they'd never make it in the states 'coz they didn't sound American enough, god knows what they'd make of the fabulous sounds of the Unthanks, they're loss! Long live Northumbria.
They are amazing, Becky's voice is out of this world.
loved them from the very start ..
Absolutely stunning! Starless tingles my spine every time.
if that doesn't give you goose bumps check your pulse
it does, it does. Rest assured.
Absolutely stunning performance.
Just makes me cry and cry
Fresh new sound in folk. Love it!
brilliant to hear them on the detectorists tonight, great tv for those who get it goose bumps
Detectorists have led me to my enduring love for the music of Johnny Flynn, and now to my new love the Unthanks. To Mackenzie Cross, thanks for enriching my life!
WasabiWaits4No1 same here!
This is beautiful!
Cripes! Bloody marvellous!
Beautifull, thank you
Just saw them at Folk by the Oak in Hatfield. Refreshing and brilliant.
amazingly wonderful music! love it!
I love the voices and this musical mood. Definitely! 💙🎶
Extraordinario. Los escucho seguido. Felicidades
Beguiling -- first heard on The Detectorists in that magical interlude - just found out today they played here in Cheltenham one week ago!.
Goosebumps a plenty!
Das bin ich , nüchtern und suchend....
Outstanding
stuff me thanks for that post love it
Brilliant.
Clogs oot for the lads!
WOW! Geez, how long did it take me to find them.
Super
What's the song at 30mins in called please? Thanks a bunch in advance! Fantastic work.
Felton Lonnin from the Bairns album
Showing my ignorance, but what is the instrument being played during Magpie?
Thanks, before seeing this performance I thought it could have been a hurdy-gurdy
A hurdy gurdy is a guitar -like instrument, operated by turning a wheel at the far end.
I guess, i'm a bit late. But if you're still interested, it's a harmonium or reed organ.
Extreme, I guess but if Boudicca had released on vinyl. No disrespect to Iceland, but we have history to
Wtf r u on about
A great travesty that that the inane advertising material is so insensitivity placed in mid song. Maybe this is just a Google " thing" here in kittle Australia. Thankfully we have all of The Unthanks music without the nauseating ads!!🙄🙄
