Northumbrian pipes legend with her band
Venue: The Garden Rooms at Tennants, Leyburn
The Darkening invokes the dramatic and powerful sounds of the wild, weatherbeaten countryside along Hadrian’s Wall, where ancient people worshipped different gods and followed different customs. With her outstanding colleagues, the Northumbrian pipes and fiddle legend will bring to life some of the oldest Northumbrian tunes and songs, intermingled with exciting new material. “An exceptional band” The Observer
Adult £10-£25, Under 25 £3-£9
Generously supported by Dr. Judith Hooper and Dr. Francis Cole
