FOLK group The Unthanks have just finished recording with Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band.

And the two bands will release a CD entitled Diversions Vol 2 this summer.

The album will chart last year’s collaboration between the National Champions of Great Britain, featuring music written and arranged by Unthanks pianist and producer Adrian McNally written in celebration of Rachel Unthank.

The album will be released this summer and the project returns to the stage with live shows including one the Victoria Theatre Halifax.

The collaboration is a spectacular, with The Unthanks and ‘Briggus’ making up over 30 people on stage.

See The Unthanks with Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band in Halifax on Saturday June 9. Tickets from the box office on 01422 351158.
