Kathryn tickell

Kathryn Tickell has unveilled a promo EP for Northumbrian Voices which will go on tour this month. The project will rate as her most important work to date which goes to the very heart of her music and Northumbria.

Newcastle University has produced some of the leading artists in the UK folk scene. Now, their Folk and Traditional Music degree is celebrating its 10th birthday with a concert at The Sage Gateshead.

This Sunday 27th November sees Kathryn Tickell performing at Cecil Sharp House. The performance, Northumbrian Voices, features her father, Mike Tickell, along with an ensemble of musicians and singers.

Listen to our latest mix: Coasting is a journey. A journey from a market square in Rhodes, Greece ending in a cafe in Anstruther, Scotland. This is a very gentle musical odyssey by bicycle…enjoy!

Weaving the Land is the first in a new series of mixes from Folk Radio UK. The mixes explore traditional music and its connection to the land. Whether it is recalling memories of it or the longing for return to the homeland. The first mix opens to Irish poet Seamus Heaney and features Liam O’flynn, Kathryn Tickell, Kris Drever, Dick Gaughan and more.

The Long Hard Road is Tom McElvogue’s debut album and our album of the week! Tom’s attention to detail and perfectionism has resulted in a perfectly recorded legacy for the future which will finally introduce him to Irish music lovers worldwide!

Kathryn Tickell’s music is sewn into the very fabric of the Northumbrian landscape just as her tutors, the sherpherd musicans of outlying farms near her home, were. Her lastest album pays a great homage to the vastness of perception and interpretation in her work.
