Joshua Moses – a Bristol-based roots singer represented with strong material on the compilations 'Bristol Reggae Explosion' vol. 1, 2 & 3 – made his first recording session in 1978. And now, 34 years later, Bristol Archive Records is set to release the man’s debut album 'Joshua to Jashwha - 30 years in the Wilderness'.

Joshua Moses himself didn’t have any copies of the many recording sessions he has done, so it has taken more than 18 months of research and the pursuit of numerous leads to gather together the fifteen tracks on the album.

The tracks were recorded between 1978 and 2003, and prior to Bristol Archive Records’ involvement the only tracks to have been previously released were the scarce Africa (Is Our Land) and its dub counterpart Home.

The majority of the other tracks was recorded over a period of twenty years and includes a trio of live recordings.

'Joshua to Jashwha - 30 Years in the Wilderness' hits the streets on April 9th as CD, vinyl and digital download.
