Kathryn Tickell is the foremost exponent of the Northumbrian pipes; a composer, performer, educator and successful recording artist with many releases to her name, whose work is deeply rooted in the landscape and people of Northumbria.
Named after the old Northumbrian word for twilight, ‘The Darkening’ is made up of four musicians based in North East England: Kathryn Tickell (Northumbrian smallpipes, fiddle, vocals), Amy Thatcher (accordion, synth, clogs, vocals), Kieran Szifris (octave mandolin), Joe Truswell (drums, percussion); with Josie Duncan from the Isle of Lewis (vocals, clarsach). Together these dazzling musicians create musical magic, exploring the connecting threads of music, landscape and people over a period of almost 2000 years.
Praise for the new album Cloud Horizons:
“…wildly thrilling” The Guardian
“…this is a blinder! …just fantastic” Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 6 Music
In collaboration with Childerley Hall
