Dancing down the leftfield and singing in their own lilting Geordie accents, Rachel Unthank & The Winterset are an all-girl Northumbrian quartet who have courted the mainstream without diluting their folk music, luring fans as disparate as Phil Jupitus, Joan As Policewoman, Kate Rusby and Stuart Maconie.
Fearless, peerless and wholeheartedly brave, they do the North-East proud with the honesty and imagination they bring to its traditions.

Also don't rule out charming interpretations of songs by the likes of Antony & The Johnsons, Robert Wyatt and Bonnie Prince Billy.
Austere and glacial on record, Rachel & co. are conversely known for their warmth and humour on stage.
Second album, The Bairnshas already been made Mojo Folk Album of the Month.
