Christina Alden & Alex Patterson

Christina Alden and Alex Patterson are the main songwriting force with award-winning Norwich based trio Alden, Patterson & Dashwood.

Christina & Alex have been playing together for over 7 years performing songs and tunes together (many of which are original compositions) on guitar, fiddle, tenor guitar, banjo and shruti box.

As part of Alden Patterson and Dashwood they have toured extensively throughout the UK and Europe, with headlining shows plus a 23 date tour with Show of Hands, an appearance at Glasgow's famous Celtic Connections and main stage slots at many of the UK's most prestigious folk festivals.

They launched their first duo EP The Fox Song with a stunning performance on the Broad Roots stage at Folkeast in 2019 and they are currently hard at work in their 'folk cellar' studio putting the finishing touches to their debut album, which they are hoping to release in the spring.

This will be Christina & Alex's second duo appearance at the Canopy Theatre following a very successful acoustic show last year.
