#rachel unthank & the winterset

[femmeterypolka]

it’s so important when you can hear the pedal of the piano or the organ

[notasapleasure]

You look different every time You come from the foam-crested brine It's your skin shining softly in the moonlight Partly fish, partly porpoise, partly baby sperm whale Am I yours? Are you mine to play with? Joking apart When you're drunk you're terrific When you're drunk I like you mostly Late at night, you're quite alright

But I can't understand the different you In the morning when it's time to play At being human for a while Please smile

You'll be different in the spring, I know You're a seasonal beast Like the starfish that drift in with the tide, with the tide So until your blood runs to meet the next full moon Your madness fits in nicely with my own, with my own Your lunacy fits neatly with my own My very own

We're not alone

BBC: Gentleman Jack drama gives boost to female folk duo

Gentleman Jack by O'Hooley & Tidow

I can’t stop listening again and again and again.

[deadendtracks]

Hi!! 17, 21 and 27 for the peaky ask :)

17. Favorite scene?

Oh no this is impossible, I don’t know if I’d even be able to narrow it down to favorite scene in a season. But... if I was forced to chose, possibly the gathering around Danny Whizz Bang’s body in the Garrison, and then Tommy standing seeing him off alone afterwards, shot from behind. There’s something quietly devastating about it that just nails me every time. 

The whole end of that episode in general, from the dramatic walk that starts off reflected in a puddle to Tommy’s terrible speech about the Small Heath Rifles to his little monologue to Harry in the bar to Ada interrupting the standoff... gives me shivers.

21. Favorite song used in the series?

YOU’VE PICKED ALL THE IMPOSSIBLE QUESTIONS. I really, really, really love PJ Harvey’s cover of Red Right Hand in season 2. I Wish, I Wish by Rachel Unthank and the Winterset in s4 is also incredibly unusual and haunting. You and Whose Army by Radiohead in s3 was probably the one that took me the most by surprise, and really worked when it didn’t seem like it should have.

27. Who could join the cast?

Gosh. I usually don’t like big name stars showing up in shows I like because I can find it distracting. I think they’ve done pretty well with people I didn’t previously know and I’m happy with that trend. Um... I think @knivesplushearts mentioned Stephen Rhea and I’d love to see him on the show. Eva Greene absolutely, probably the one name I would die for. Helen Mirren as well. And it’d be really nice to see Naomie Harris and Cillian Murphy act together again, they had amazing chemistry. 

Of all the people rumored to be cast the one star I might not hate would be Julia Roberts, because she has a deep melancholy/sadness to her that is at odds with her star facade and might be really interesting.

playlist tag

Oh boy, my music is very eclectic, or weird, or mismatched, and would make a terrible playlist all jumbled together. Early music, opera, musicals, pop, oldies, kpop, British folk, French Canadian trad... Anyway, I was tagged by @sirjunghoseok so here goes.

rules: we’re snooping through your playlist. put your entire music library on shuffle and list the first ten songs!

Shotgun - Darts

Les Coups D’vent - Les Langues Forchues

What Say You Meg? - The Last Ship (Sting)

Act III Scene I, Entrance of Cecil - Gloriana (Benjamin Britten)

Manitoba Casse Reel - Dentdelion

O Nobilis nativitas - Anonymous 4

Fair Rosamund - Rachel Unthank and the Winterset

O Do Not Forsake Me - They Might Be Giants

M’en revenant de la vignolette - Eric Beaudry et al, Hommage à Marius Barbeau

First Love - BTS

I kind of wanted to cheat and show some later shuffles because next I got some Agust D right between opera and Christmas choral music - Billy Budd, “Tony Montana,” and “In the Bleak Midwinter,” or how to make everyone leave your Christmas party.

I won’t tag anyone, just whoever feels like doing it. Do it! It’s fun.

[hebdenfolkroots]

A pint and a chat with our musical director of the Hebden Folk Roots Festival. 

Tell who is playing at the festival and why you have hand picked these particular acts this year?

O Hooley and Tidow. Belinda O Hooley has been well known in Hebden Bridge for a long time. She organised lesbian cabarets at the Trades Club and was part of Rachel Unthank and the Winterset when it was a four woman unique folk group. With her partner Heidi Tidow they have taken the folk world by storm with heartfelt songwriting and very funny interludes between songs. O Hooley and Tidow were nominated for the BBC folk awards this year - and we are developing a reputation for booking acts just before they get nominated!

Celtarabia and The Baghdaddies are part of our world music strand. They have both sold out Trades Club shows over many years. In fact The Baghdaddies were the first band I booked when I started running the Trades Club music programme many years ago. They are still going strong - I saw them at Boomtown Festival last August. Last year we had a very successful Bluegrass and Americana session. This year we have developed it further, moved it to the Trades Club and broadened it out. Top of the bill this time is a western swing band Rob Heron and The Teapad Orchestra who will have the place reeling and jiving. Another extra we have this time is the klezmer day at Birchcliffe. Headed by Chancery Blame and the Gadjo Band. Klezmer is that jewish-gypsy music that you can't avoid dancing to. Of course we have some old favourites in the folk world: Plumhall will be back, as will the fantastic Jess Morgan with her band and Bradford's Bella Gaffney - don't be surprised if she gets a BBC folk nomination soon. Some of the older near legends will be with us too - former Lindisfarne bass player and Jack The Lad leader, Rod Clements will be here, as will Clive Gregson, one of the country's great songwriters. And to show we are not one of England's insular anti Europe towns we will welcome Flossie malaviale, a French chanteuse who is a major part of the UK folk scene since relocating to the North East several years ago

What do you love about doing the Hebden folk roots festival? why is it different to other festivals?

It is 'very Hebden Bridge' as the local signs will say. This is not a folk festival it is a festival of what is at the heart of music and it shows an appreciation of global music and culture. That is why we have influences form around the world here whether it is celtic, north African, middle eastern, pan European or North American, Hebden Bridge just loves its music

Who are you looking forward to seeing?

I will be at the Birchcliffe centre all weekend and I look forward to seeing everyone there...however at a festival there is always so much you will miss and I'm afraid I will be at the Birchcliffe when Celtarabia & Rob Heron will be at Trades - so I'll have to catch them at other festivals this summer

How do you see the future of folk going forwards?

My attitude to folk music is that it is music that comes from people and their stories anywhere in the world. Globalisation has been an economic disaster because it is driven by money. At the same time access to music form people across the world has help bring us together and I hope that music and shared culture will continue to be an antidote to the 'crimes' of the global economic elite

now i’m listening to the bairns by rachel unthank and the winterset and god its. oh man its such a breath of fresh air after sorrows away. its so much more stripped back, and its sound itself is so much.. darker? than anything they put out under the unthanks (even if the subject matter is dark the sound is still pretty pleasant and easy to listen to, but on “i wish, i wish” you have this whispering and these dissonant piano chords and its just UGH). and there’s this real tangibility to the sound... like you hear this toe tapping and the hammers in the piano and it sounds almost as if rachel unthank is like. wrestling with her voice at some points? they both have such... a soft texture to their voices which don’t always sound super expressive (which isn’t a negative, its beautiful in its own way) but she’s just pushing a bit more on some of the songs and its so great.
