When world-renowned Northumbrian piping virtuoso Kathryn Tickell decided to put a new band together, she wasn't going to let a mere 600 mile round trip for rehearsals stand in her way. Eighteen months later, that determination and focus has paid dividends with the release of the ensemble's eponymous debut album, Kathryn Tickell & The Side.

Coming from very different musical backgrounds, these four strong-willed women each bring different influences, resulting in an album that celebrates the cross-fertilisation of ideas and genres.
