Watch The Mary Wallopers sing on a boat for Other Voices in Ballina

The Mary Wallopers were at one of the last known music festivals to take place in Ireland this February as Other Voices happened in Ballina Co. Mayo.

Luckily, Other Voices is a TV show first and they captured a lot of the performances and the crew took the Dundalk folk/ trad trio onto a boat on the river Moy to perform a version of ‘Home Boys Home’, a fitting song for right now.

The Mary Wallopers are back livestreaming on Youtube this Friday at 8pm. See our live stream guide.

Other Voices airs on RTE2 tonight at 11:30pm and it’s am Other Voices: IMRO Other Room Special with Junior Brother, Anna Mieke, Alex Gough, Thumper and A. Smyth
