Whatever your opinion of the Unthank girls -   (some will like them - some not) You have to accept that , young as they are, they have already contributed a huge amount to folk music.

Like Kate Rusby, they were raised in the tradition, both with folk song and dance and I for one admire them for trying to bring something new and fresh to the folk scene.

These are not young upstarts but two girls who have served an extremely long probation and I wish them lots of success.
If folk music is to keep on growing we need youngsters like these.
