1967

Kathryn Tickell, OBE, DL (born 8 June 1967) is an English musician, noted for playing the Northumbrian smallpipes and fiddle.

Her paternal grandfather played accordion, fiddle, and organ.

Her father, Mike Tickell, sings and her mother played the concertina.

Her first instrument was piano when she was six.

A year later, she picked up a set of Northumbrian smallpipes brought home by her father, who intended them for someone else.

Frustrated by fiddle and piano, she learned that the pipes rewarded her effort.

She was inspired by older musicians such as Willy Taylor, Will Atkinson, Joe Hutton, and Billy Pigg.

At thirteen, she had gained a reputation from performing in festivals and winning pipe contests.
