The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond.

This week, Rachel and Becky Unthank talk about making music from Emily Bront毛's poetry.

The Unthanks have used Bront毛's own piano to set the Wuthering Heights author's poems to music. The resulting 'song cycle' was recorded on site at the Bront毛 family's Parsonage in Haworth, West Yorkshire, during 2018: the 200th year since Emily's birth.

The songs can be found in a recent box set by The Unthanks called 'Lines', which also features music from two other projects.

The Northumbrian group are touring with a performance of the Bront毛 music in October of 2019.
