Invisible Folk Club core podcasts create an ambience somewhere between a folk club and a workshop. We want to entertain and educate through music and conversation. Egos are parked outside, everybody is treated the same. We do not record in a 'proper' studio, we simply set up the Zoom recorder in a terraced cottage in the heart of England and off we go. It is literally a cottage industry! We create a convivial atmosphere in which the musicians soon forget about the microphones. Then the spirit, talent, skill and enjoyment can shine through.

Christina Alden and Alex Patterson are singers, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists. After 5 years as a part of a hard working acoustic trio with Noel Dashwood the pandemic brought things to a grinding halt.
