Ireland’s Greatest Small Music Festival: Other Voices

Annie Macmanus celebrates the twentieth anniversary of Ireland’s Other Voices Festival with interviews and intimate performances by Sam Fender, Sigrid, Fontaines D.C., Little Simz and more.

Presented by Annie Macmanus, this one-off special celebrates the twentieth anniversary of Ireland’s Other Voices Festival.

Each winter since 2001, Other Voices has gathered music’s brightest voices together to perform to an audience of just 80 people in the tiny St James’ Church, located along the Dingle peninsula on the most westerly tip of Ireland.

Everyone from Amy Winehouse to Young Fathers, and St. Vincent to The National, have made the musical pilgrimage to west Kerry to play intimate sets on the church’s iconic stage.

This special anniversary film takes a look at the history and foundations of the acclaimed festival with never-before-seen interviews and stunning performances from Sam Fender, Sigrid, John Grant, Villagers, Dermot Kennedy and Kay Young. Annie will also open the Other Voices vault to showcase remarkable archive performances from Fontaines D.C., Little Simz and Arlo Parks.
