This exciting new ensemble led by Kathryn Tickell, one of the most influential folk musicians in the world, brings together folk and classical. Channeling their diverse experiences into a powerful new sound, The Side stay true to the spirit of Kathryn’s Northumbrian folk tradition, whilst unleashing the talent and creativity of each musician.

Evocative slow airs that could break your heart move seamlessly into life-affirming jigs and reels; Amy storms into a clog dance; Kathryn’s dizzying rapid-fire piping contrasts with the richness of the cello, and Ruth’s sparkling harp-playing melds it all together – a very special evening is in store in the company of Kathryn and The Side.

Part of the Dartington International Summer School concert and event programme.
