  • This video is of Kathryn Tickell - its to do with Folk Music, the Northumbrian Pipes, where in Gods name has all this talk of the IRA, the BNP and politics come from. ?

    Most people who enjoy folk music would not want anything to do with such things, we simply appreciate traditional music; This video has absolutely nothing what so ever to do with politics, the IRA or the BNP, and the vast majority of folk music fans detest hatred or bigotry.

  • Christ, every video on youtube has some people fighting over some old shite, its a Northumbrian pipes video for fucks sake. Just enjoy the music.

  • lovely piping.

    A note to any Yanks reading this: this is Northumbrian music, as in "from Northumberland, a region of northern England," and not from either Scotland or Ireland. Yes it's a bagpipe. It didn't come from either Scotland or Ireland. Bagpipes came from the Middle East were once very popular all over Europe. There are many piping traditions still extant today. Google it if you care. Don't worry, if you learn something, it won't hurt.

  • I've seen Kate and her band live several times now and the whole time they are playing you are transported away from this world and all its troubles and arguments and problems - its a sheer joy to escape like this and I recommend anyone who ever has the chance, to get to see her - or indeed, just take a few minutes away from thinking all your thoughts, kick back and enjoy some 'off time' whilst appreciating the music!

  • Cajun, Swiss yodelling, now this. How eclectic a choice of music is that ? :>)

  • @2NaughtyLittleFly2 Mate, I agree with every word you say except one, this is NOT Irish music its pure English.

  • Holy Christ. I just bailed from Iranian drone capture postings because of all the hate-speak, so I come here for something uplifting and non-political and what do I find? Omg people, this is Irish folk music, for fucks sake relax and listen to this woman, she's amazing. The internet is a sewer, that's for damn sure.

  • Very Nice Playing 100/100

  • What a great performance. Let's have music for healing and fun, not to reinforce hatred.

  • If this doesn't make you want to get up and jig then nothing will

  • For goodness sake people, chill out and enjoy the music. This woman is a national treasure!

  • @Whitbywatcher most of the IRA BNP rants come from that guy Leofricson wouldnt like to meet him on a dark night seems like a right loony
