Other Voices returns to your screens this month!

We're back on RTÉ2 and the RTÉPlayer for series 23 of Other Voices 🤍

Other Voices is back! Starting this month, we'll be returning to your TV screens at 11pm on Thursday nights with a brand new series full to the brim with extraordinary music and interviews.

Presented by our faves Annie Macmanus, Maykay and Huw Stephens, this six-part series showcases a stunning line-up of emerging and established artists from Ireland and beyond, including Laura Marling, Nubya Garcia, Wunderhorse, James Dean Bradfield, Morgana, Maverick Sabre, Bashy, Rachael Lavelle, Been Stellar, Fionn Regan, Landless, Shiv, Charlotte Day Wilson, Nadine Shah, Bill Ryder-Jones, and many more.

We're kicking things off in Episode 1 with a powerful performance from Lisa O'Neill, UK rap legend Bashy's emotional first performance outside the UK in 15 years, 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 the extraordinary Laura Marling. As well as footage from her incredible set in December in Dingle, she sits down with Annie Mac for a heartfelt conversation about motherhood, artistic expression, and her deeply personal new album, Patterns in Repeat. We'll also have a look back at her OV debut at Wilton’s Music Hall in London over a decade ago!

Across the rest of the series, we'll be bringing you a dynamic mix of genres and artists—from the bold, genre-defying jazz of Nubya Garcia to Wunderhorse’s noisy indie-rock and Fionn Regan’s poetic folk. We’ll also be heading to West Wales for a special episode featuring James Dean Bradfield of Manic Street Preachers, neo-soul rising star Victor Ray, Canadian R&B artist Charlotte Day Wilson, alt-rock force Nadine Shah, acclaimed singer-songwriter Bill Ryder-Jones, and more. Plus, we’ll shine a light on some of Ireland’s most exciting new voices, including Curtisy, Ellie O’Neill, Shiv, and David Murphy, performing from the IMRO Other Room stage at WAVE in Dingle.

Join Annie Macmanus, Huw Stephens, and MayKay every Thursday at 11pm on RTÉ2 or stream worldwide on RTÉ Player.
