Our new series hits RTÉ with a bang this Thursday with an incredible show full of songs for the head & the heart 💙

PAOLO NUTINI

Paolo Nutini makes his long awaited Other Voices debut this week, performing a sensational set in The Church of St James playing tracks from the chart-topping 'Last Night in the Bittersweet', plus we'll bring you a never-before-seen interview with Huw Stephen.

SORCHA RICHARDSON

Having played every stage at Other Voices over the years, beloved indie-pop singer-songwriter Sorcha Richardson lights up The Church for the first time on this week's show. She'll be playing songs from her highly acclaimed sophomore record, ‘Smiling Like An Idiot’, plus having a chat with the legendary MayKay.

SELLÓ

Following an unforgettable live set at Ireland’s Edge in 2022, record breaking Dublin rapper SELLÓ takes over the IMRO Other Room stage for a blazing Other Voices debut! He'll also breakdown his signature 'Gaelic Drill' sound in an interview with MayKay.

JOHN FRANCIS FLYNN

Finally, having received numerous accolades for his incredibly moving debut LP ‘I Would Not Live Always’, folk artist John Francis Flynn carries us away with an ethereal performance and chats to Huw Stephens about the timelessness of Irish traditional music.
