Ryedale Festival – The Unthanks

The Unthanks bring the rich colours of their eleven-piece ensemble to Malton. Blending traditional music from the North East of England with the influence of Miles Davis, Steve Reich, Sufjan Stevens, King Crimson and Tom Waits, this is the most innovative and critically acclaimed English folk band in modern history. Join them for an approach to storytelling that makes easy bedfellows of social commentary and sophisticated harmony, cool minimalism and moving empathy, tradition and adventure.
