Compact Disc (CD) + Digital AlbumAtmospheric drones amalgamate with ancient song lyrics, a sound world of fiddle-delays draws us into the story of a dreadful ghost, while stomping bodhrán rhythms accompany the efforts of a boatsman to convince his love to marry him. Intricate three-part vocal harmonies honour the life of a sailor working for the royal navy and we hear a woman’s warning to “never prove false to your womankind”.

Return to Kielderside
by Kathryn Tickellsupported by 15 fans who also own “FEMALE RAMBLING SAILOR”
A beautiful set of tunes, that takes Kathyn back to her more instrumental albums, under the KT and KTB name. Whats nice is that musicians on the older albums (such as Julian Sutton) as well as musicians from more recent bands (such as Amy Thatcher), have both been used to great effect on this album.
