Event information

Christina Alden & Alex Patterson are multi-instrumentalists and songwriters from
Norwich. Their music is rich with intertwining harmony, sensitive accomplished
musicianship and a creative song-writing style that is both delicate and moving.
Deeply inspired by the world around them, they have a keen environmental eye
to craft stories with the natural world at its heart, reflecting on the relationship
between humans and the wild.

They have enjoyed touring extensively in the UK and Europe; including a twenty-
three-date concert hall tour with Show of Hands (including Union Chapel and St

David’s Hall Cardiff), a show at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall for Celtic Connections,
headline and main stage performances at some of the UK’s most prestigious folk
festivals and performances in Norway, Belgium, France and Ireland. They have
written and self-released four albums, composed music for a BBC Radio 4
documentary series and have had over a million streams on Spotify.
