Post Description

Kathryn Tickell is the foremost exponent of the Northumbrian pipes, a composer, performer and successful recording artist whose work is deeply rooted in the landscape and people of Northumbria.
Kathryn also works collaboratively across many genres, making her work contemporary and exciting. She first took up the Northumbrian smallpipes at the age of nine, learning in the traditional way from shepherd musicians in outlying hill farms near her home. All the elements of landscape, weather and stories of the people that lived and worked there were part of her childhood. Kathryn's personal evocation of this is heard through the traditional tunes and songs that she brings to audiences all over the world. She has released 14 of her own albums to date and has also recorded and performed with Sting, The Chieftains, The Penguin Café Orchestra, Evelyn Glennie, Andy Sheppard and many others.
On this album from 1997 Kathryn is joined by Ian Carr on guitar and Neil Harland on bass, together with guest musicians Paul Flush on piano, and Brendan Power on harmonica, the latter contributing 'Reel Blues Reel'. Some very old traditional material here: 'Lads of Alnwick/Sunderland Lasses/Peacocks March', a traditional Northumbrian set of tunes, and 'Green Brechans O'Branton/I Saw My Love Come Passing by Me', two very old Northumbrian piping tunes. These sit perfectly alongside Kathryn's own compositions, 'Raincheck' and 'Mr. Nelson's Birthday Waltz'.
