    I am very (pleasantly) surprised to see this here. I have often wondered about their Scottish connection; Bairns might be a word also used in Northumberland, I don't know, but Unthank is the setting in Alasdair Gray's remarkable Lanark

    Thanks yet again, Ubu

    Just saw the Unthanks live last night and had a very enjoyable time. probably would have missed the show had it not been for your little blog, wasn't previously aware of the girls and brit folk isn't my first port of call but was intrigued by your upload. So manythanks for the Unthanks and also the other downloads over time i may have neglected to thank you for.
