Keltic Fusion

Sample the debut single Gaudete from Keltic Fusion. Ever on the lookout for new and unusual sounds to put through their 21st century remix machine, Keltic Fusion have combined celestial acappella vocals, Celtic atmospherics and a classical feel with a chilled-out rhythm track to create the most unusual crossover single of the year.

Kathryn Tickell

Hear Kathryn Tickell talk about the influences which have shaped her style, her background in England's north-east, and her work with other artists like Sting. The interview was recorded in 1997 with the release of her album The Gathering. "The Gathering is named after a wonderful festival in Cork where the organisers, either out of musical curiosity or sheer devilment, seem to spend all year dreaming up unlikely musical pairings. On arrival at the festival we poor, unsuspecting musicians are told who we are expected to duet with over the weekend's concerts. One of my unexpected duet partners was harmonica player, Brendan Power - you'll hear the results later on..."

Kathryn's 1999 release Debateable Lands is her interpretation of the different characteristics of the Debateable Lands from the time of the border reivers (raiders) up to the present day. The Debateable Lands are that part of the border country, about four miles wide and more than a dozen miles long, which stradles the old West Marches of Scotland and England. Ownership was disputed between the two countries and the area was a constant menace and nuisance to both, becoming a haven for outlaws and troublemakers. It is a bleak but beautiful place.

Hear Maddy Prior introduce the album Flesh & Blood. "One of the great incest ballads [Flesh & Blood]. A devastating and compelling story told in so few words. The rude intrusion of music and dancing into a mind torn with grief is heart rending.I more and more realize how much of my taste and style is based in the 60's revival - formed by many talented musicians and singers all of whom researched with great energy their own repertoires that have now become part of a background body of material available to all. I am grateful for having been among them".

Lindisfarne established themselves as one of British rock's classic bands during the 'seventies, notching up a string of hit albums and singles as well as enjoying a reputation as one of the country's top live acts. Despite their main success coming during that decade their music is rooted in the 'sixties, as is their idealism and their anti-establishment values. Rod Clements, Ray Laidlaw, Ray Jackson and Alan Hull originally came together through a mutual love of the folk-blues of Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie, performing an acoustic set featuring mandolin and fiddle.

Hear the current members of the band talk about their experience of being in the band.

The video Time features the much-loved line-up of Maddy Prior, Bob Johnson, Peter Knight, Liam Genockey and Tim Harries, as well as original vocalist Gay Woods (ex-Auto De Fe) who returns to the fold for a magical set that combines Steeleye's harmonic attack with their customary eye for a vivid song, including tales of Pagan goddesses and misunderstood witches in You Will Burn and mythological legends, noble folklore and the under-age pregnancy song - Underneath her Apron. The video includes interviews with each member of the band talking about the making of the album and the story behind each song.
