If Rachel Unthank and the Winterset hadn't cancelled their two Cornish gigs this year, I'm sure they'd make this list. I'll have to wait until next June...
Sorry to hear that Incoming - about the cancellations, it makes next June even more worth waiting for tho'.
I saw Winterset on Friday and they were astounding. The new girl (Steph?) has added something, playing less notes than Belinda but with more musicality and drama. Niopha made the violin sound like Northumbrian pipes, and those Unthank sisters, their voices so different but combining so beautifully. Spine shivering time, runs my gig of the year a close second.
