The Last Folk Bards of Ulster with Joshua Burnside

Watch an intimate performance by Joshua Burnside on Saturday 25th October in the Ulster Folk Museum, alongside readings by Anne McMaster and performances of Huddleston's writings.

If Joshua Burnside was around 150 years ago, he would have been known as one of the great folk bards of Ulster... just like the Bard of Moneyrea, Robert Huddleston!

The Ulster Folk Museum have commissioned Joshua Burnside to explore the Huddleston archive and write two new works based on his research, building a bridge and uniting these two bards through music.

Through this collaboration, we hope to bring Huddleston's legacy to life - because our archives are more than historic documents. They're resources that continue to move us and help us learn from the past – inspiring creativity in modern artists and thinkers, but also teaching us about language, cultural identity and our place in a fast-paced modern world.
