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.
They have been acclaimed by The 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.

For centuries, The Farmer’s Arms saw people, goods and ideas come and go from its location at the top of the beautiful Crake Valley, on the edge of the Lake District National Park. Today, as well as a place where food, drink and a bed for the night can be found, The Farmer’s Arms is a thriving rural hub that enhances the lives of local and visitors alike.
"We believe in everyday creativity, and creativity everyday. It’s our mission to nurture this in everyone who works at The Farmer’s Inn and in everyone who visits us."
The acquisition of this much-loved historic institution was initiated by the local community, who succeeded in mobilising a campaign to save The Farmer’s Arms at the height of the first Covid19 lockdown. The present redevelopment is led by locally-based arts organisation Grizedale Arts, following a fundraising campaign that attracted community investors and donors from all over the world to join the purchase. Working collaboratively with the inn’s local and global communities and embracing a hard-working, hands-on renovation approach, The Farmer’s Arms is once again alive, inspiring locals and visitors alike.
