The Unthanks
The Unthanks (until 2009 called Rachel Unthank and the Winterset) are an English folk group known for their eclectic approach in combining traditional English folk, particularly Northumbrian folk music, with other musical genres."They may call themselves folk musicians, but it is the strains of jazz, foreign scales and other unlikely influences that set The Unthanks apart from the rest of the Neo-folk movement.""The Unthanks seem to regard folk music the same way Miles Davis regarded jazz: as a launchpad for exploring the wider possibilities." Their debut album, '' Cruel Sister'', was ''Mojo'' magazine's Folk Album of the Year in 2005. Of their subsequent albums, nine have received four or five-starred reviews in the British national press. Their album '' Mount the Air'', released in 2015, won in the best album category in the 2016 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. In 2017 they released two albums featuring the songs and poems of Molly Drake, mother of singer-songwriter and musician Nic ...

Unthank was sponsored by Austral bikes, a brand within the Malvern Star group, and the rides were organised by Jack O'Donohue, publicity manager for Bruce Small Ltd. This was followed shortly after by riding from Launceston to Burnie and return on 14 November 1938, setting the 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nellie Unthank
Ellen (Nellie) Pucell Unthank (November 6, 1846 – July 21, 1915) was a Mormon pioneer, Utah settler, and amputee remembered as a symbol of pioneer endurance. Ellen Pucell was born in Valehouse, Tintwistle, Cheshire, England to Samuel Pucell and Margaret Perrin Pucell. She emigrated to Utah Territory from England with her family as a young girl, traveling with the Martin Handcart Company. During the journey her parents died, and she had to finish without them, walking most of the way without shoes. Because of the bitter cold and snow, she suffered frostbite. When she arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, her legs were amputated, using no anesthetic, below the knee. Because of the imprecise amputation, her stumps never healed and were bloody for the rest of her life. She became a symbol for courage and nobility because she did not ask for pity despite her handicap. She did laundry on her knees to help raise six children. On April 22, 1871, she married William Unthank. She died in Ce ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lanark (book)
''Lanark'', subtitled ''A Life in Four Books'', is the first novel of Scottish writer Alasdair Gray. Written over a period of almost thirty years, it combines realist and dystopian surrealist depictions of his home city of Glasgow. Its publication in 1981 prompted Anthony Burgess to call Gray "the best Scottish novelist since Walter Scott". ''Lanark'' won the inaugural Saltire Society Book of the Year award in 1982, and was also named Scottish Arts Council Book of the Year. The book, still his best known, has since become a cult classic. In 2008, ''The Guardian'' heralded ''Lanark'' as "one of the landmarks of 20th-century fiction." Plot summary ''Lanark'' comprises four books, arranged in the order Three, One, Two, Four (there is also a Prologue before Book One, and an Epilogue four chapters before the end of the book). In the Epilogue, the author explains this by saying that "I want ''Lanark'' to be read in one order but eventually thought of in another", and that the ...
