BALCONYTV LONDON 23/04/2010
PRESENTED BY MARK LOCKETT
"Now and again an unsigned talent comes along that is doing something so different and so exhilarating that it has to be talked about. Joslin possesses a secret weapon that both keeps you on your toes and clearly distinguishes him from the rest. Underneath gentle, intimate tones lurks a reedy, raw iron-bar of a voice that he unleashes to inject a vitriolic richness to his songs - adding a caustic addendum to an ironic love-song, or exposing a sinister twist in a rambling tale.

At his best, Joslin can create instant atmospheres that have an audience hanging on his every word. He really knows how to get the most out of a guitar, and this, along with his multiple vocal textures, brings to life the characters and tragedies of his tales. He reframes folk's storytelling tradition and brings it kicking and screaming into the 21st century, and is - without doubt - one of the most versatile and riveting young talents on the scene.
