The Unthanks: How Wild The Wind Blows at the RNCM

The Unthanks: How Wild The Wind Blows at Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM), Manchester, 19 April 2017, from £20.00 - Book now

For their first Manchester show in over two years, Mercury nominated folk group the Unthanks tackle the songs and poems of Molly Drake – best known as the mother of musician Nick Drake. Recorded at home by her husband in the 1950s, this source material sees the light of day some 60 years later for this tour and accompanying album, Diversions Vol 4.

Having previously reinterpreted music by Robert Wyatt and Antony & The Johnson’s, expect the Unthanks to offer a warm and sympathetic understanding of Drake’s talent.
