We’re thrilled to be welcoming Christina Alden & Alex Patterson live online from the wonderful Downend Folk & Roots. The gig will begin with support from The Lost Trades, before Christina and Alex take to the stage.

ABOUT ALDEN & PATTERSON

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.

“Perfectly matched harmonies…at times it’s hard to tell them apart, you could be listening to a single voice” – Folk Radio UK

“Alex would give even the great Swarbrick himself a run for his money in terms of sheer feeling and passion” – At The Barrier

“Alden’s voice is hauntingly beautiful” – Folk London

ABOUT THE LOST TRADES

The Lost Trades are a vocal harmony trio with a cool Laurel Canyon vibe. Three Wiltshire based singer songwriters (Jamie R Hawkins, Phil Cooper and Tamsin Quin) were brought together by a mutual love of modern folk and roots music, and joined forces in late 2019 for a three-part harmony, modern folk adventure.
