When December draws near, The Unthanks will release and tour In Winter - a double-album, gatefold, dream-like winter fantasia, embracing both the dark and the light in the most ritualistic of seasons.
Moving in and out of focus - like a memory - a bittersweet hymnal to our shared winter experience. Echoes of winter tunes known throughout the western world, mix with the traditional and the newly written, all passed with great care and love through The Unthanks filter.

Turin Brakes (Acoustic)
SAT 14 DEC 2024 AT 7.30PM
With support from Sun Cutter.
Turin Brakes strip back to basics for an acoustic tour starting in autumn 2024.
The band explain; 'We couldn't ignore all the love we got for the first acoustic tour (in 2019) when we kept having to add more and more shows due to the demand. We ended up doing about 50 shows when we originally planned to do just one or two! So we decided to do it again and make it another very special and intimate performance. We honestly can't wait'. 'It’s like dustbowl folk music refracted through inner-city noise' (NME)
