These folk music purveyors (formally known as Rachel Unthank and the Winterset) continue to put their unique stamp on the tradition of English folk music by adding blues, jazz and classical music. Performing as a five-piece, led by the earthy presence and distinct vocal styles of Northumbrian sisters Becky and Rachel Unthank, this heart-warming and original band make their Electric Picnic debut with their beautifully haunting and eloquently raw music.
