Joshua Burnside | Up and Down | Whisper Project #11

This is another whisper project 'special' - a collaboration with the wonderful people at '9ft in Common' - the brainchild of Amberlea Neely & Aisling Rusk.
-
9ft in Common aim to 'uncover the complexities and share the possibilities of an infrastructure of urban alleyways, Belfast’s wild and liminal spaces'
-
It so happens that in the shared alleyway of Hyndford Street, Belfast - resides one Joshua Burnside, on the street where Van Morrison grew up..
So on the eve of the Irish summer - 'Beltane', Amberlea & Aisling suggested the residents of Hyndford gather in their own 9ft in common, with bbq, bins, planting and song.
-
'Up and Down' is one of those songs, performed by Joshua, guitarist Dan Byrne-Mccullough & cellist Zara Byrne-Mccullough. It is a beautiful, quiet reflection on our troubled times.
-
This recording was kindly supported by 'Belfast 2024'
