I'm delighted to say that we're back in Northumberland,

one of the most beautiful counties in England.

And we're here to meet somebody who is steeped in the traditional music of this area.

Catherine Tickel plays the Northumbrian Pipes, the fiddle.

She composes.

She's worked with loads of different ensembles.

She's worked with symphony orchestras even. But at her core is the music that comes out of this

landscape. And she personifies the handing on of that tradition from generation to generation.

And she's going to bring along her dad, Mike Tikkel, a storyteller and singer who also knows so much about the culture and history of Northumberland.

What a wonderful opportunity this is to learn more about this landscape and about the music that runs through it. Catherine and Mike, how wonderful to see you.

Thank you very much for inviting us here.

Would you just tell us where we are?

Because there's a river, huge river running behind us.

Where are we, Catherine?

Well, this is a little bit huger than it sometimes is.

This is the River Reed and we're

in Northumberland, just

not very far from my house. We've just walked

down here from the house.

So yeah, this is the backdrop to my

life. This is the soundscape to my life.

Music the sound scape to my life. So this is a tune that, I think as we know some Brian Pipe I know, it's a tune called the Reedstale Horn Pipe and it's part of the kind of core repertoire
