Sing and Record with The Unthanks
Collaborative. Celebratory. Join in and make the record.
Notching up 20 years as a band this year, The Unthanks plan to release a best-of record to celebrate, and this could be your chance to feature!
You are invited to become part of a choir for one day only. There will be workshops to learn two songs in the morning, and a recording session in the afternoon to capture it. The Unthanks have been hosting singing residential weekends across the North East for the past 15 years and hope with this event to capture their spirit on record, marking just how valuable their annual participatory get-togethers have been to their artistic process and survival in today’s music world. The afternoon will be wrapped up with a folk session in a nearby pub.
