Kathryn on BBC Radio 2 — 12th May

Kathryn is featured on The Mike Harding Show, 7pm UK time, on BBC Radio 2. Mike Harding interviews Kathryn and plays and tracks from the recently released ‘Best Of’ CD compilation of her work from the past 25 years. She discusses her musical upbringing in Northumberland, what inspired her to take up playing the pipes, and some of the many diverse musical projects she’s been involved with over the years.

The ‘Performances’ section of the website has been updated, at long last. Check the section for details of performances in the summer. Autumn dates to be added soon. Some fabulous Kathryn Tickell Band performances are in store at Spitalfields Festival, Haverhill Arts Festival, National Forest Folk Festival and Chester Summer Music Festival. Plus some beautiful new work to be unveiled as Kathryn joins Joanna MacGregor at Guiting Festival in July and is the special guest of the Penguin Café Orchestra at the BBC Proms in September.
