The new trad group was formed by Joshua Burnside and his brother Connor.

The Burnside brothers – Joshua and Connor – have started a new trad project called /////// (or Seacht Líne). Their stunning debut single, 'Hawk On The Cliff' is out today.

During the Covid-19 lockdown, both of the brothers began learning new instruments, eager to keep creative during their respective lockdowns, Joshua in Belfast and Connor in London.

“I started learning the fiddle during the lockdown, and it was a great distraction for a while," explains Joshua. "But I knew that if I didn’t use it in a creative project then I probably wouldn’t keep it up. The whole idea of /////// was really just to have a bit of craic – the band name started off as a bit of wind up, and then it stuck. Even the idea of something being ‘post-trad’ is a little bit ridiculous.’’

Joshua recently released his own 'post-trad' (sorry, Josh!) masterpiece, a strong contender for album of the year which Hot Press gave 9/10 stars and called "a lyrical masterclass, and an essential entry into the catalogue of Celtic rock."

'Hawk On The Cliff' comes with news of a full four-track EP, to be released in 2021.
