One of the disadvantages of this forum is that people can make offensive comments and not have the courage to reveal their identity as has the poster above. You may think it is dreary and unoriginal - fair enough though I would disagree - but to call the Unthanks music 'crap' is deeply offensive - by what standards are you judging?? What qualifies you to suggest that - you may not like it - I am not keen on a number of artists and genres of music but would never call it crap. I am not one of the 'younger folk' of which you refer but at 53 I believe that this band and many others are taking the music I love forward and there has probably never been a better time for lovers of folk music thanks to the huge numbers of young people who are breathing new life into the tradition!
