"Intimate, epic, overflowing with feeling and musical intelligence" The Independent.
Nominated for Best Group, Best Live Act and Best Album in the forthcoming BBC Folk Awards.
Winners of the BBC Horizon Award at the BBC Folk Awards 2008.
Dancing down the leftfield and singing in their own lilting Geordie accents, Rachel Unthank & The Winterset are the "inheritors, curators and gleeful distorters" (Ian MacMillan) of Tyneside's traditions.
Elements of blues, jazz, burlesque cabaret, classical and leftfield contemporary music make their take on folk music peerless, fearless and wholeheartedly brave, winning fans as disparate as Robert Wyatt, Kate Rusby, Paul Morley, Phil Jupitus and Joan As Policewoman.
Doors Open: 7:00pm
Tickets $15 advance / $18 day of show
