"Joshua Burnside manages to produce some of the most brooding and poetic songs and it’s always a pleasure to share his music here on Folk Radio. Joshua is set to release his new live album ‘Live At Elmwood Hall’ in May, it’s from this album that his latest sweeping cut ‘Northern Winds’ is taken. When you hear it you’ll understand why it’s also our Song of the Day.

Following on from the previously shared rendition of ‘The Good Word’, this latest offering sees the frontman strip back from his core sound to deliver a far more intimate and emotive showcase of his songwriting. Backed up with an expansive folk ensemble, he croons and serenades his way through this new track, giving the audience a chance to really devour his lyrical prose." - Alex Gallacher
