Event details

From the shadow of Hadrian’s Wall in the North East of England, Kathryn Tickell & 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), Tim Bloomer (guitar), Joe Truswell (drums), and Stef Conner (vocals, lyres).

“Dynamic and breathless jigs and spins… this is the energy we want!” - The List
“…this is a blinder! … just fantastic” - Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 6 Music
