about

The two parts of this song may sound very different but were written at the same time and inspired by the same place. The title has a deliberate double meaning but the two tracks are based on field recordings I made at St. Catherine’s well in Coventry. I haven’t found much information about the well itself which now resides in the middle of a modern housing estate. The lyrics are based on a broadside about Catherine Foster who murdered her husband and was hanged in Bury St. Edmonds at the age of 18 in 1847.
