To celebrate the truly spectacular lineup of this year’s Open House Festival over in Belfast, the kind folk at Open House HQ have made a wondrous MP3 mixtape of the artists they’ll be showcasing, and because we’re just as kind as they are here at The Blue Walrus, we thought we’d let you have a listen too…
