The Unthanks - In The Bleak Midwinter

Taken from the BBC Four Christmas Session (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00pcnsp).

I think this is simply stunning and just had to share it. Harmonies between siblings are some of the most beautiful and Rachel and Becky are no exception. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

In my, humble, opinnion, this was probably the best programme on at Christmas! I had it on Sky +, but box decided to crash! Have you got the other number they did, not "Betsy Bell", I think it was called "Tar Barrel Day"?

AnxiousFly - it was a Christmas show. The song is a Christmas song.

The girls are from North East England.

Don't be stupid.

@5554Jen Having seen The Unthanks, they sound and look Northern English. I totally agree with you. There is nothing wrong with connecting with our Christian heritage, either. It is called ethos. If Ethos makes you sick, then you are very narrow-minded and have little imagination.
