This unique collaboration draws from the strengths of two of the UK’s most highly
regarded folk acts: The Shackleton Trio and Christina Alden & Alex Patterson. With a
shared passion for thoughtful songwriting and intricate arrangements, Kitewing brings
a fresh and powerful voice to the contemporary folk scene, rooted in tradition but
unafraid to explore new ground. Expect soaring harmonies and roaring fiddles,
blending guitar, mandolin, and banjo. For our December concert we are promised a
'festive show'; repertoire will be a mixture of traditional carols, self penned seasonal
material with an environmental leaning, seasonal tunes, and re-workings of some East
Anglian carols. There will also be a handful of material that is performed year round in
the set.
