Moseley Folk Events Presents The Unthanks, this December 9th 😍

With their forthcoming double album (to be released on Nov 29th), In Winter, The Unthanks will be heading to Birmingham Town Hall to celebrate it's release.

Adream-like winter fantasia, embracing both the dark and the light in the most ritualistic of seasons. Moving in and out of focus, like a memory, bittersweet hymnal to the winter experience.

Their leading single 'Dear Companions' is a parting song that instantly feels like it has always been with us. Written by Becky Unthank to the old American folk tune of Nettleton, Dear Companions crescendos towards its end with the voices of 60 devotees, recorded on one of the band’s infamous singing residentials.

“Saying goodbye can often be hard,” says Becky Unthank, who wrote the song at home in Northumberland with her partner, the BAFTA award-winning animator Ainslie Henderson. “In its bittersweetness, we struggle sometimes to find a satisfying way to part, which is why I’ve always loved the function of a parting song.”

For both Mostly Jazz & Funk Soul & Moseley Folk & Arts Festival we raised a whopping £23,455 for our charities over the two weekends!

We have both Médecins Sans Frontières / MSF & Moseley Hive join us for the weekend. 112 of you committed to regular donations, resulting in an annual total of £16,694.40. Whilst at Moseley Hive's stand through raffle tickets, facepaint and headbands you raised £6761.

A huge thank you to everyone for both weekends. 🥰
