Does anyone remeber this duo from the 60's? - 2 male guitarists/singers, one playing a really nice Harmony Sovereign. I booked them for the Vic in Whitley Bay some time in the late 60's. The name came from a girl they knew at college.

This is from Wikipedia:
Kathryn Tickell (born 8 June 1967) is an English player of the Northumbrian smallpipes and fiddle.
Kathryn Tickell took up the smallpipes aged nine, inspired by her family—especially her father Mike, who was heavily involved in the local traditional music scene.........

Folk,
Music - 4pm - Mellody Tickell £5
Performing an eclectic repertoire drawn from their self-penned contemporary folk roots dating back to their formation in the late '60s'. Chris (Mellody) Braclik and Andrew (Tickell) Holland, two voices in harmony, several guitars and a banjo, combine in an entertaining selection of songs and instrumentals, with the odd audience participation chorus thrown in.
