The Unthanks sing "Magpie" at the BBC Folk Prom 2018 

When you can't tell who's singing which part, you know you've got harmonic perfection.

Anyone else here because this was used in Detectorists?

Instant tears. The most beautiful song ever. ❤️❤️❤️

I’m a little obsessed with this song

Beautifully atmospheric. Should you ever get the chance I recommend listening to this driving west along the North Norfolk coast from Cromer to Binham during the fading light of a beautiful December sunset. This was the soundtrack of my recent break in Walsingham. Haunting and beautiful. ✌🏻❤️

This stirs something deep inside of me, it makes me so emotional. Just the same as when I first heard the wellaman played

Idk but I feel like these sounds are somewhere very deep in my memory from the time I’ve never lived. I was born in Russia, moved to the USA but listening British folk. So love it!

This performance always gives me goosebumps..Beautifully haunting:)

That was awesome. I didn't know the song or the singers but Im glad I clicked on this vid.

Just discovered these ladies and I am totally obsessed

Wonderful harmonies, discovered them on Detectorists ☺️💜

What an absolutely wonderful group. And I love the song lyrics.

Here because the of the Detectorists!

Once you've heard this version you can't unhear it...nor will you feel the same about other versions....

what a beautiful Haunting song and great show

Beautiful harmony and haunting

Mournful and haunting, I love that this simple tune masquerades as an historic traditional song. The Unthanks give a masterful interpretation, so lovely!

Amazing

Spine Tinglingly Haunting and Beautiful. Incredible.

Fantastic harmonies. Hauntingly beautiful. Detectorists brilliant series.

Love the use of the Hurdy Gurdy - amazingly evocative instrument. Amazing song....

I guess I need to watch this Detectorists thing. I'm pretty sure I've seen a Laura Marling song from the show, too.

This, is singing. Beautiful. Thanks to the Detectorists.
