We at Folk and Tumble are excited to be attending Belfast’s Spectrum Festival on Friday 3rd July at Mandela Hall. With anticipation building for what is set to be a fantastic night filled with a variety of local acts, headlined by the energetic modern Irish folk outfit The Emerald Armada, we have been brushing up on back catalogues and trying to decide who we are looking forward to most. We haven’t been able to reach a unanimous decision on that yet, however we have been able to choose a Spectrum themed song of the day.
Joshua Burnside was first introduced to me via his 2012 release ‘The Winding Straits’ EP, played for me by a friend who met the Belfast based musician at Queen’s University. Since then Joshua has released a critically acclaimed single ‘Black Dog Sin’ and has toured the U.K and U.S. ‘Little Blind’ is taken from the 2013 release ‘If You’re Goin’ That Way’.
