    My Hot Tip...

    ...for 2011.

    You may recall that about this time last year I accurately predicted that the POP group whose name would be on everybody's lips throughout 2010 would be The Mumford and Sons. Well, here's the hot ticket for 2011:

    The Unthanks.

    The Unthanks sisters are a song and dance duo who hail from the north country and have their roots in the "oh woe is me" folky traditions of a region where everything costs tuppence ha'penny and a lump of coal.

    Very atmospheric vocals and the dancing half of the combo stomps around on her podium with the whimsical charm of an early Sue Pollard coupled with a Rumplestiltskinesque intensity.

    A cult following at the moment but I predict this year will be their crossover year.

      Difficult to imagine how that can be anything but a winning formula.

              It would appear that he actually announced it in September last year. Just after they had lost out to The XX in the Mercury. Not exactly plucking them from obscurity was he?
