O'Hooley & Tidow

For many, the original star of The Unthanks wasn't Rachel Unthank (or even her sister Becky) but acerbic pianist Belinda O'Holley, whose introductions and asides would counter the siblings' sweetness with vaudevillian timing. Now O'Hooley's own chamber-folk duo with vocalist Heidi Tidow is firmly established on the folk scene.
