The widely acknowledged icon of Northumbrian music joins forces with some of this country's most talented young musicians to present a band full of excitement and vitality. The choice of instruments is inspired; whether it's the interweaving melodies and driving sound of twin fiddles, the distinctive pairing of pipes and melodeon, or the excitement of the full band, with guitar and acoustic bass guitar adding depth and rhythmic complexity. As always, the traditional tunes of Northumberland and the Borders are well represented, with emotive airs and captivating tunes linked by Kathryn's inimitable introductions. The Kathryn Tickell Band's compelling performances have justifiably earned worldwide acclaim.
'To say that Kathryn plays pipes is like saying that Shakespeare was a bit of a writer... one of the true stars of our music.' Living Tradition
