Kathryn Tickell & The Darkening – Sunday 20 at Tapestry

Kathryn Tickell & The Darkening are a stellar group of musicians led by the foremost exponent of the Northumbrian pipes whose music is deeply rooted in the landscape and people of Northumbria.
Last year she composed a poignant lament to mark the one-year anniversary of the felling of the iconic Sycamore Gap tree.
Her most recent album Return to Kielderside marks 40 years since her debut release and is a gentle return to a more traditional sound.
At Tapestry, she performs with her band The Darkening, named after the Northumbrian word for twilight.
