Rachel Unthank is a member of the British folk group The Unthanks.
The band’s recent CD “The Songs of Robert Wyatt and Antony & The Johnsons” was recorded in an intimate and unconventional setting — the Union Chapel in London.
It was there that the band recorded tunes by two unconventional songwriters: Antony Hegarty and Robert Wyatt.
Anchor Marco Werman talks to Rachel Unthank about the setting and songs.
