You may remember a week or so back we featured a wonderful session from Bella Union folk wunderkind Marques Toliver, filmed by the good folk at Bands In Transit at last month’s Great Escape festival. Well, it wasn’t just Marques they lumbered into the back of a van – they collered The Joy Formidable too who cut this sweet version of ‘Whirring’ – a highlight from their recent Atlantic debut album The Big Roar.
