Other Voices

Other Voices is back with one of the most diverse and exciting series to date. Episode one features Gavin James, Lapsley, Gaz Coombes and in the IMRO Other Room - Bitch Falcon. The 14th season of the renowned music show, filmed on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, will return to RTÉ 2 on Saturday 23rd of January 2016 at 11:15 PM. Other Voices is known for introducing audiences to the most hotly tipped, exhilarating new artists each year and with performances from musicians such as Jack Garratt, Lapsley, Little Simz, Otherkin, The Academic and Mahalia, this series is no different. Grammy nominee Glen Hansard will make a welcome return to the show and for the first time Mercury Prize nominee Gaz Coombes (Supergrass) will take to the stage in St. James’ Church. The new series also features a performance from the ever elusive Keaton Henson and Minnesota based slow-core innovators Low.
