Featuring…
Christina Alden & Alex Patterson
Christina Alden & Alex Patterson are multi-instrumentalists and songwriters from East Anglia. 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 twentythree-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.
Christina and Alex will be joined by double bass maestro John Parker(of Nizlopi fame) bringing his exceptional playing and musicianship to the stage.
‘A milestone for contemporary folk songwriting’ – Bright Young Folk
‘A bright, lively collection of songs that plays so sweetly it evokes the sensation of a summer folk festival’ – The Guardian
‘Perfectly matched harmonies…at times it’s hard to tell them apart, you could be listening to a single voice’ – Folk Radio UK
‘Gorgeous harmonies and lush melodies…a beautiful album that transports the listener to wild landscapes and wild lives’ – BBC Countryfile
‘Alden’s voice is hauntingly beautiful’ – Folk London
‘Alex would give even the great Swarbrick himself a run for his money in terms of sheer feeling and passion’ – At The Barrier
Jonners Czerwik
Having signed to Emi Music Publishing, Sony Records & Cooking Vinyl, to name just a few, Jonners has been tentatively releasing music under the name Tall tree 6ft Man since 2007, and clocked up over 2.5 million spins on streaming platforms to date, without any marketing. Realising early on that commercial success didn’t really appeal, Jonners now spends his time working with artists at grass roots level, producing and touring, remaining modest about his ‘A list’ credentials.
Joined by fellow collaborators Sean O’Hanrahan “ Emily Fraser, they’ll perform songs from a vast archive of beautiful unreleased music along with a few of the classics. With a wistful approach to melancholia, Jonners writes about the darkest and lightest shades of personal and universal experience.
