Other Voices returns to Dingle this December for the 9th time and already the much anticipated concert series is causing a stir with Marina and the Diamonds, Richard Hawley and The National already confirmed in its line-up. While the rumour mill is rife with line-up suggestions, the show producers are remaining schtum for now on other artists appearing though it has been confirmed that a number of Irish bands will be making their first appearance on the TV show. This year marks the 9th edition of the Other Voices series which will be recorded in St. James' Church and in a number of other locations around Dingle. This world renowned series has in the past welcomed the likes of Amy Winehouse, James Blunt, Damien Rice, Temper Trap, James Morrison, Florence and the Machine and Snow Patrol to name but a few. Artists and musicians from across the globe are expected to come together to make musical magic over a few wintery days in the achingly-beautiful west of Ireland fishing village Dingle. The recording of the TV series will commence on Saturday December 4th running through to Wednesday December 8th. Four bands take part each day, with the morning and afternoon spent capturing interviews and one-off acoustic performances at off-beat locations around the Dingle Peninsula – from old shipwrecks on empty miles of beach, to pubs where you can buy a new tractor wheel whilst supping on your pint. Then each evening, the bands, and a handful of true music fans – there’s only room for 60 under the eaves of St. James’ Church- descend upon the church for a set of unique performances, filmed live for the TV show, which transmits on RTE2 early in the new year. The show producers are delighted to welcome back Intune Networks and Failte Ireland as partners for this new series of Other Voices. A limited amount of tickets for the recordings in Dingle will be released for sale shortly – details will be announced soon. Pictured: Marina and the Diamonds - for more visit www.othervoices.ie
