05/02/2025

Laura Marling, Lisa O'Neill, James Dean Bradfield, Jacob Alon, Bashy, Morgana and more to feature in Other Voices Series 23 this Spring

RT 2 & RT Player | Thursdays from 20 February | 11.00pm

Ireland's iconic televised music show Other Voices makes its return to RT this February with an all-new season filled with extraordinary performances and conversations filmed in Dingle and West Wales.

Presented by the legendary trio Annie Macmanus, Huw Stephens and MayKay, this brand-new six-part series will shine the spotlight on a stellar line-up of both emerging and established artists from Ireland and beyond, including; Laura Marling, Nubya Garcia, Wunderhorse, James Dean Bradfield, Maverick Sabre, Bashy, Rachael Lavelle, David Murphy, Been Stellar, Jacon Alon, Curtisy, Fionn Regan, Landless, Shiv, Melys, Georgia Ruth, Victor Ray, Charlotte Day Wilson, Fabiana Palladino, Nadine Shah, Bill Ryder-Jones, Morgana and Ellie O'Neill.

The series kicks off on 20 February with a powerful performance from Lisa O'Neill, whose singular voice and incredible storytelling light up the Church of St James in Dingle. She'll be joined by UK hip-hop legend Bashy, whose first gig outside the UK in 15 years brings the audience to tears. Later in the episode, we'll hear ethereal art-pop sensation Rachael Lavelle, and from the IMRO Other Room, Cork multi-instrumentalist David Murphy brings the dreamy sounds of the pedal steel guitar.

Episode 2, airing on 27 February, is a special tribute to extraordinary singer-songwriter Laura Marling, showcasing one of the most captivating performances from this year's series. She sits down with Annie Mac for a heartfelt and honest conversation about motherhood, artistic expression, and her deeply personal new album, Patterns in Repeat. This episode also features a look back at her Other Voices debut at Wilton's Music Hall in London over a decade ago, providing a moving reflection on the evolution of her music.

Across the rest of the series, Other Voices will showcase standout performances that span a wide array of genres and styles from the bold, dynamic jazz of Mercury-nominated Nubya Garcia, to the poetic folk of Fionn Regan, and the noisy indie-rock of Wunderhorse.

In Episode 5, we'll travel to West Wales for captivating highlights from Other Voices Cardigan 2024, featuring Manic Street Preachers frontman James Dean Bradfield, rising neo-soul star Victor Ray, Canadian soul and R&B powerhouse Charlotte Day Wilson, fierce and uncompromising alt-rocker Nadine Shah, former Coral guitarist and critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Bill Ryder-Jones, and many more.

Throughout the series, Other Voices continues to celebrate what's about to happen, with some of Ireland's brightest new voices Tallaght rap-maestro and RT Choice Music Prize nominee Curtisy, Meath indie-artist Ellie O'Neill, Irish-Zimbabwean soulful pop-sensation Shiv, and Cork multi-instrumentalist David Murphy take to the IMRO Other Room stage, filmed in the immersive Dingle venue WAVE.

Justin Healy, Executive Producer, RT said:

We are delighted to be bringing our audience another series from the iconic Other Voices festival centered around the unique setting of the Church of St James in Dingle. Other Voices, and Dingle itself, continues to attract the very best established and emerging artists from far and wide, offering them the opportunity to perform in a very special location on the edge of Europe .

Philip King, founder of Other Voices, reflected on this year's series:

This year Other Voices played host to a brilliant lineup of exceptional artists, singers and songwriters. From the beautiful Church of St James on the main street in Dingle to St Mary's Church in Cardigan in West Wales, it is a delight to share these performances with you.

Other Voices presenter MayKay added:

The giddy lead up to Dingle is like nothing else, for us and for punters as well. You know you're about to go through every emotion under the sun and come out the other side of it with another part of your heart healed, if also a bit exhausted! Those moments came most notably this year from Bashy, Lisa O'Neill and the exceptional Jacon Alon. Can't wait for everyone to see these performances!

Other Voices begins on Thursday 20 February at 11pm on RT 2 and will be available on the RT Player.
