Kathryn Tickell

Multi-instrumentalist, composer and champion of the Northumbrian pipes,
Kathryn Tickell created The Darkening from the shadows of Hadrian’s Wall.
The Darkening reach out to the wider world, connecting threads of music,
landscape and people over almost 2000 years. Named after the old
Northumbrian word for ‘twilight’, The Darkening is: Kathryn Tickell
(Northumbrian smallpipes, fiddle, vocals), Amy Thatcher (accordion, clogs,
synth, vocals), Heather Cartwright (vocals, guitar), Joe Truswell (drums),
and Stef Conner (vocals, lyres).

“No one has evoked the landscape and traditions of Northumbria more
affectingly than Kathryn Tickell; a champion of the Northumbrian pipes,
she is steeped in the songs and mythology of the north-east.” The
Observer.
