- Hollowbone evokes the landscape of Northumberland, particularly Hadrian's Wall, and a reimagining of inherited traditions. Tickell’s broadcasts on Music Planet (BBC Radio 3, Global Roots) have led her to question what ‘world music’ is and how it has changed since the term was coined. Tickell’s new ensemble, The Darkening challenges current distinctions between ‘world music’ and ‘folk music’, exploring their relevance for music creators and audiences today. Hadrian’s Wall is axiomatic as both a marker of rooted regional traditions and a reminder of international visitors and horizons (through the experiences of those who served on the Roman frontier 2000 years ago). This entails a reimagining of traditional tunes and songs. Forswearing the 'standard' folk ensemble format via the inclusion of drums and percussion, Hollowbone seeks a reimagining of the materials and a visceral reaction from the listener.
