Cold Fen is an anthology of songs from their researches into songs from the Fens. They live in Cambridgeshire and are actively involved in clubs and sessions in East Anglia. They have a mission to unearth local songs from archives and restore them to the repertoire.

They perform at festivals, concert and folk clubs as a duo. They play in the ceilidh bands Fendragon, English Rebellion and Four Hand Band and also play for Pig Dyke Molly based in Peterborough. They give presentations and talks about their research into songs and run instrumental workshops using tunes they have arranged.

This is Mary and Anahata's fourth album. This one specifically features songs from the Fens.
