Other Voices David Keenan

The long-running music series is back on Thursday night.

The hallowed institution that is Other Voices returns to our TV screens this week, and JOE has a gem of an exclusive preview for you to enjoy.

Season 17 of the enduring musical showcase will feature the very best in Irish and international talent, all in a beautifully intimate setting.

With performances and interviews captured in Dingle, Ballina, Electric Picnic and the Orchard Sessions, the latest batch of OV heroics features Sigrid, Villagers, Kojaque, Dermot Kennedy, Passenger, Maverick Sabre, Julien Baker, Gruff Rhys, Little Green Cars, Mahalia, Jade Bird and many more.

Also making waves is rising beat poet David Keenan, who has been turning heads with his unique brand of storytelling in recent months.

The Dundalk man has entered in a tremendous rendition of ‘Postcards From Catalonia’, which goes some way to backing up the hype while also showing off just what Other Voices is all about.

The new series returns on Thursday night (21 February) at 11.25pm on RTÉ 2 and will run for nine weeks, with Annie Mac, Huw Stephens and MayKay on presenting duties.
