With less than three weeks to go, Other Voices has filled in more of the programme for its 25th anniversary in Dingle, which runs from Friday November 27th to Sunday November 29th.
For the first time, there will be a special broadcast from the festival, Other Voices 25 Live: A Celebration, on RTÉ2 on Saturday November 28th from 8pm. It will also be available worldwide on the RTÉ Player, with extensive coverage across RTÉ Radio 1 and 2FM through the weekend.
The final acts for St. James’ Church will be revealed next week. They join the already announced The Waterboys, Gilla Band, Julia Jacklin, Lambrini Girls, Knats and Brìghde Chaimbeul. Access to the church recordings is by competition only, through Other Voices and partners’ social media and digital channels.
