Programme - Deepdale Festival

Thursday 26th to Sunday 29th September 2024

Christina Alden & Alex Patterson

Friday 3:45pm - Orchard

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.

'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' - 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

This is the programme announced so far, which we will continue to add to right up until the festival itself. Deepdale Festival 2023 is our 6th annual festival. We are looking forward to a fabulous weekend, with an amazing range of musical talent including national and local bands.
