Kathryn Tickell has been at the forefront of the movement for over twenty years now, since she released her debut album as a teenager and set off on a journey that would take her all over the world to play with some incredible artists.

At the root of this success has been the music of her own particular part of England, Northumbria. Taking her cue from her father Mike, Kathryn began playing the Northumbrian small pipes and fiddle at the age of nine. Little did anyone know where this would all lead - media acclaim from both the specialist press and mainstream, TV appearances including 'Later With Jools Holland', performing in New York with Sting, appearing at the Last Night of the Proms and ten acclaimed albums.

Then came album number eleven, The Sky Didn't Fall. Kathryn has had a long history of unique collaborations, from the incredible musicians who have featured in the Kathryn Tickell Band to the Ensemble Mystical and Northumbrian shepherd Willie Taylor. The Sky Didn't Fall saw her teaming up with Scottish harpist and singer Corrina Hewat to explore the shared tradition of the North of England and its celtic neighbour. Featuring a combination of traditional tunes and original compositions, the album is an exercise in the purity of instrument and voice, a world away from the production line approach to music that extends through virtually every genre these days.

Perhaps that is why people continue to return to folk music on a regular basis, because it offers them a welcome respite from the modern reality. Kathryn Tickell has been one of the music's brightest stars and can be said to have done more than most to ensure that its influence will continue down through the generations. The Sky Didn't Fall is just another chapter in an amazing story that, despite - or maybe because of - the most humble beginnings, has transfixed audiences across the globe.
