On the 13th May 2014, Kate Threadgould, a founding member and one half of SoulJahm, passed away.

There is a deep sadness that we will no longer physically share this journey alongside great peace because she put freedom above all else - a beautiful pain. Kate is the most determined, joyful and authentic woman I have had the good fortune to have known for 15 years. Three years ago the SoulJahm journey began in Budapest in an apartment block just around the corner from here so some sort of circle has been completed.

Kate is a true SoulJah who carried on in adverse conditions when anyone else would long have given up in order to lay down the foundations in Europe and bring through this Music for no other reason than loving the journey itself. She lives on as we move into a new SoulJahm phase together in a new way.

Jah Rastafari!

After journeying around Europe for the last 3 years - October 2010 until August 2013 - rarely staying in one place longer than a few months the time has come for SoulJahm to root itself in one location for a longer stay.

Armed with better recording equipment and a selection of instruments SoulJahm is now entering a Kave until further notice. You can still contact us through Facebook, Youtube, etc...

Inspired by a stay on the island of Giudecca (Venice) in the summer of 2011 and written there on ukulele. The track was recorded over the course of a year and features piano recorded in Milan, maracas in Nice, ukulele in Paris, drum track programmed in Berlin, with guitars, vocals and harmonica recorded in Budapest throughout the spring/summer of 2012.

Written in Berlin, Feb 2012, and then finished in Budapest later that year in June, we put out Version 1 around then, a simple acoustic recording. A month later in July we began recording this version before it was put aside until late December 2012 in Bologna where we recorded vocals. A few months after that, in 2013, we recorded rhythm tracks in Ventimiglia before finally mixing it all in June, almost a year after we started recording, which happened to be on the date of the Supermoon and year to the day of Version 1.

Balcarres Street is where we lived for several years in our first rented apartment in Edinburgh and where many profound changes took place for us.
