The brand-new season of Other Voices kicks off tonight, 20 Feb at 11pm on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player – and we’re starting things off with a bang with a episode filled to the brim with amazing interviews and performances!!

Joining us for our season premiere - Bashy, Lisa O'Neill, Rachael Lavelle and David Murphy!

Bashy

Having just this week won Album of the Year and Best Hip Hop Act at the MOBO Awards, Bashy is known for his powerful lyrics and magnetic stage presence (not to mention his successful career as an actor!) He came to Dingle to perform his first gig outside the UK in 15 years, and it was nothing short of unforgettable. Raw, emotional, and deeply personal, his set had the audience in tears - this is one not to be missed.

Lisa O'Neill

Cavan's Lisa O'Neill is celebrated for her singular voice and evocative, powerful storytelling. Her critically acclaimed latest album, All of This Is Chance, is praised as one of her best yet. Returning to Dingle, Lisa delivered a raw, beautiful performance that captivated the audience - the setting only making it all the more spiritual, an energy that resonates through the screen.

Rachael Lavelle

Dublin's Rachael Lavelle crafts hauntingly beautiful soundscapes that blend electronic backdrops with ethereal vocals and relatable lyrics. Her performance is immersive and captivating, weaving humour, intensity and "cool" in equal measure. If you're not a fan already, get ready to be!

David Murphy

And last (but certainly not least!) we'll be hearing from Cork-based multi-instrumentalist and producer David Murphy who makes his OV debut in the IMRO Other Room. David is renowned for his innovative use of the pedal steel guitar, transcending its traditional roots to explore genres from folk to ambient music. His debut album, Cuimhne Ghlinn: Explorations in Irish Music for Pedal Steel Guitar, reimagines classic Irish tunes, creating a dream-worthy soundtrack.
