    WTF?

    We're driving up to Middlesbrough Town Hall tomorrow night to see the wonderful Unthanks for the millionth time.

    The support band is 'The Young Uns' who seem to be an interesting Boro Smog-based folk band.

    Anyone know owt about them?

    Excellent folk band. Not my cup of tea but my mate us in a folk group and he says the young uns are superb. Good at what they do (when I saw them) but I'm into my rock and the like.

    I'm looking forward to it mate.

    Not acting the big man but I was just talking to Rachel Unthank and she really rates these lads.
    We're setting off at 2pm so we can have a drink and see the support.

    Supposedly lots of Tees based folk songs, played 'hard' <ok>

    The lasses dedicated this to my family at York Minster, with the brass band, me Dad would've been proud <ok>

    The words are heartbreaking for any mining family.
