June 2009

This is a sort of continuation from last week in that I came across this indirectly as a result of the musical journey BBB started me on.  In an idle moment, whilst listening to Afro Celt Sound System I hit Wikipedia to find out more about Uilleann Pipes.  From there I looked at Northumbrian Smallpipes and that page lists notable players of the Northumbrian Smallpipe at the bottom.  I was intrigued to see a woman listed there as women folk musicians seem to be in the minority.  I went to  look at the page about Kathryn Tickell and then hit YouTube….and then Amazon.  The album I came away with (and it was very hard to only pick one!) was Debateable Lands.  I will buy the rest when I win the lottery!
