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.
