'Rachel Unthank and the Winterset'
Singing in lilting Geordie accents, sisters Rachel and Becky Unthank are servants of the northern English music traditions they keep alive - and so close to Scotland, we welcome them!. They are joined in The Winterset by charismatic pianist Belinda O'Hooley, and fiddle player Niopha Keegan (and sister of vituoso traditional flute player Niall Keegan). Their 2005 debut album Cruel Sister was named Folk Album of the Year by Mojo Magazine and successful sales were reflected by brilliant live performances in 2006.

I simply can’t recommend them enough" Bob Harris BBC RADIO 2 The guest artist is singer-songwriter (and festival sound engineer) Peter M Rowan.
