I read this well written review of The Unthanks, Jonny Kearney and Lucy Farrell live in Dublin by SIOBHÁN LONG for the Irish Times online this morning and immediately thought it had relevance to this thread because it discusses the Folk voice and song: Irish Times 30mar10 I hadn't dared mention the Unthank sisters on here before because I knew what adverse comments would arise. I have heard them in both acoustic small setting and in vast Festival tents and (possibly because I like the NE England accent esp in song) always enjoy their live performances (which, please note EFKanne, does combine a good variety of songs) as well as their CD's.
