The Kathryn Tickell Band - Hareshaw Burn

[25Busterdog]

Memories of Brownrigg School and sunday afternoons spent walking up Hareshaw lynn outside Bellingham, North Northumberland in the early 1960s.

Marvellous!!! :)

[kolozs3]

Jayzus, it's a couple of hours I'm listening to her via YouTube, and cannot get enough.............wonderful piper, wonderful fiddler, wonderful musician....

[onearmfrog]

I don't tend to use caps often but.. THAT WAS AMAZING!

[nevanovna]

This music is really wonderful, I would live to hear Kathryn playing live.

[ronnie44445]

i had the pleasure to see her live many years ago in the hartlepool studio. fantastic  tho full to the rafters .

[joane49]

Hope one day to visit northumberland again my birthplace and would love to see Kathryn live.

[bluebottle51]

@joane49 good taste

[hooptyhee1]

Love this stuff. I used to work in Bellingham, Northumberland, where Hareshaw Burn is!

[gnomely1]

From Northumbria, this is the best of English folk music and the closest in temperament and colour to the Irish/Scots music.

[seonidh]

@gnomely1 yes although Katheryne Tickell plays in the Shetland style of fiddling learned from the late great Tom Anderson in Stirling so she actually plays in a scottish style at most times.

[ipi5hl]

@gnomely1 coz Northumbria shouldn't be in England :-)

[tommy3lions]

@ipi5hl But Northumbria was an Engle kingdom that stretched from the Forth to the Humber, why should it not be in England? It's people , the Engle (Angle) gave their name to England? Or do you mean Northumberland the county and if so, why?

[ipi5hl]

@tommy3lions Yes it was an angle kingdom, but England didn't exist. The Treaty of York carved up large parts of Northumbria between England and Scotland. As far as the 18th century going south of middlebrough was referred to as 'going to england.'

[tommy3lions]

@ipi5hl Hello bud, appy new year to ya. Regardless of Englands existence tho geez, the people were Angle/Northumbrians as far north as Edwins Burgh so surely southern Scotland should be part of England, quite a lot of Angle DNA floating about in that area as shown in various scientific studies. But ya can have Middlesborough tho mate, we'll have all your Tunnocks tea cake factories in exchange :-)

[blowinbamboo]

Where did she get those trousers? Kathryn!

[londonpenda]

Excellent sound;)

[strawhouse65]

wow she has a lovely smile too

[Folkbabe111]

Kathryn Tickell and Jim Hall are my teachers on the Northumbrian Pipes

[GeorgesBarras]

Cool, is it hard to play?

[seonidh]

Shes more closed fingers in her style and uses quite a lot of keywork. Some Northumbrian pipers don't like her style as it breaks with the trad. But hey we cant all live in Billy Piggs shaddow forever. Music moves on.

[Jarrahnut]

Wonderful! Pat, on BelfastFolk, mentioned Kathryn Tickell a day or two ago ... I'd never heard of her. But I'll certainly have to listen out for more of her music now. Terrific! I'm very impressed.

[bunnycharl]

Go and see her in concert if you can. You will be blown away!

[seonidh]

Interesting as they play the Shetland fiddle style of music.

[edsternet]

There is no better ambassador for the beauty of Northumbria.

[pajaro1576]

[ledoodoos]

[Roylambeth]

I just love the Northumbrian Pipes. Have done so sinch hearing Billy Pigg live many years ago.
