Kathryn Tickell is a folk musician who plays The Northumbrian smallpipes as well as playing the violin/fiddle. I am not sure how well known she is beyond Northumbria and Tyneside but she is highly regarded among her peers in the world of folk music. She has been invited to play at the BBC's Folk Proms and has shared the stage with the great Richard Thompson as can be seen in two of the videos below.

Thank you for K Tickell and for the Unthanks. At first I was incredulous at your uncertainty as to her, KT's, lack of recognition, but then I thought of the TV schedules of the last ten years. Pap.
