Sisters Rachel and Becky Unthank grew up in the North-East of England and were born into a family tradition of sea and border songs. They formed their band in 2004, releasing a debut album The Cruel Sister a year later. The Bairns is their second album and includes the group’s own compositions as well as arrangements of traditional songs.
What the judges said: ‘Contemporary folk music at its most magical and mysterious – enchanting and uplifting.’
