ALULA DOWN (Kate Gathercole & Mark Waters) make music that is born of relationship, exploring connection with the land and with the magical and ordinariness of our human-being – treating the ecology of place as a point of communion.
With eclectic musical roots, they make use of collage, improvisation and field recording. Their explorations of folk song and their own self written songs are underpinned with drone and textured soundscape. Recognising that many traditional / vernacular (‘folk’) songs illuminate dispossession and inequality, Alula Down explore these divisions between self and other. On its release 'Postcards from Godley Moor' was picked by Jude Rogers to be Guardian Folk Album of the Month.
Kate & Mark live in Herefordshire and have played music together since they first met. Recent musical collaborations include work with multi-award winning author Max Porter, and playing with celebrated banjo player Jacken Elswyth on her album At Fargrounds. They also sing and play with psych-folk band Sproatly Smith, make improv noise with rushes/esp, and sing a-cappella with the Bushel Bag Carollers.
Part of The Weirdshire Society, they support local shows featuring folk, left-field and experimental live music from travelling musicians.
Kate & Mark also run seasonal community folk song choirs in Herefordshire. More details here on the natural voice network.
