Christina Alden and Alex Patterson

About

Rich music with intertwining harmony, sensitive accomplished musicianship and a creative song-writing style that is both delicate and moving.

Christina Alden and Alex Patterson are multi-instrumentalists and songwriters from Norwich.

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.
