PART of the folk-singing trio Alden, Patterson and Dashwood, this Norwich duo were due a busy concert schedule before the pandemic devastated plans. But they’ve put their creative energies to good use in using lockdown to record this debut album.
Comprising mainly contemporary songs but rooted in the folk tradition, the album reflects their concern for the environment and the relationship between humans and the natural world, starting with the upbeat title track about the bond between a grey wolf and a brown bear.
