We’re thrilled to welcome one of the legends of the folk scene to Anstruther. Kathryn Tickell is one of those musicians who connects across all kinds of musical boundaries and brings her own distinctive voice to all she does. She’s performed classical, experimental and many different kinds of traditional work over the years, and comes now with her band, The Darkening [Northumbrian for twilight]: musicians mostly from the North-East of England who take inspiration from the wild, dramatic Hadrian’s Wall country and explore the connecting threads of music, landscape and people: Amy Thatcher (accordion, synth, clogs, vocals), Kieran Szifris (octave mandolin), Joe Truswell (drums, percussion); with Stef Conner (vocals, lyres).
