Ailbhe Reddy was the winner of the IMRO Other Room public vote for Other Voices and that meant she got to be featured on the show and play a set in the back on An Chonair in Dingle. Reddy is a rising talent so the win caught her at a good time, having recently sold out a Sugar Club Dublin show and a London gig, there’s much more to come from Ailbhe this year.
Watch previous performances from Choice Music Prize-winning Rusangano Family, All Tvvins, Le Galaxie and Rejjie Snow.
