Joshua Burnside is the sound of twenty first century Ireland , traditional and roots influences combine with world music, electronica and experimental rock to make a sound that is reflective of the Ireland of now and not the Ireland of yesterday

Support tonight comes from another Northern Irish artist “Malojian “ , who combines Americana with a strong strand of sixties psychedelia where influences come from both sides of the Atlantic , the Byrds, Neil Young , Crosby Stills and Nash, the Beatles, the Kinks , the Small Faces but is no mere plagiarist as he updates and combines these into a sound that’s totally his own. He also has found fans on 6 music , tonight he plays solo
