# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Unthanks At 20 - An anniversary special with Royal Northern Sinfonia
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 31 Jan, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: The Unthanks unite with Royal Northern Sinfonia to celebrate 20 years as a band in spectacular style at The Barbican, London. Simultaneously marking the 10th anniversary of BBC Folk Album of the Year, Mount The Air, The Unthanks will cherry-pick crowd favourites from across their 15 albums to date.

Elevating the orchestral sensibilities already present in the music of The Unthanks, this collaboration with Royal Northern Sinfonia builds on the band's symphonic explorations to date, led by the arrangements and compositions of Unthank pianist and composer, Adrian McNally. While most artists look to the classical world for assistance when orchestrating their work, The Unthanks have retained close care of the songs they love and let no such opportunity for artistic development pass them by.

If folk music can traditionally be referred to as 'low culture', The Unthanks aspire to prove that the beauty, truth and relevance
present in the oral history of the people, is anything but common. This celebratory show with NewcastleGateshead's world class chamber orchestra, is a fitting way to mark 20 years of innovation and longevity that has earned them admirers including Michael Sheen, Maxine Peake, Martin Freeman, Elvis Costello, Martin
Hayes, Mackenzie Crook, Dawn French and Phillip Selway.
