Guardian Folk Album Winners to play at Gwyl Ffynnon Sant Caron this Saturday 5th March
Some good news!
Alula Down are playing this Saturday in Tregaron at Y Banc. These Guardian Folk Album winners have drawn attention for their inspired folk and ambient moves.
Playing traditional and self written songs using sound collage and semi-improvisation. They “conjure their vision with fields of minimalist sonic repetition and tell whispered tales of the people who wander by.” Stewart Gardiner, Concrete Islands
The duo of Mark Waters & Kate Gathercole are praised by Jude Rogers in the Guardian who writes:
” Echoing rain blends with shuddering drones and lyrics…. Post-rock and ambient fans will relish the shape-shifting textures… Gathercole’s voice is featherlight and meaningful, recalling Vashti Bunyan and late 60s private-press folk”
This is high quality stuff. Be sure to get yourself a ticket for the Saturday concert:
