NATIONAL: Other Voices to return with 'spectacular evening' in Irish university

OTHER Voices will return for another "extraordinary night of live music" this Thursday.

The iconic event has put together a spectacular line-up for an evening of performances in University College Cork. 

Picture This, Niamh Regan, Sekou, as well as more artists will perform live on the night.

Hosted by MayKay, Other Voices and UCC will continue to celebrate the phenomenal breadth and diversity of Irish music right now. Following the huge success of last year’s Other Voices ‘Bringing It All Back Home: UCC’, this year’s event promises another evening of artistic brilliance and unmissable performances taking place live and online.

Chart-topping pop-rock group Picture This, Choice Music Prize nominated singer-songwriter Niamh Regan, Cork’s own alt-rock six-piece Cardinals and critically acclaimed Ballymun hip-hop-jazz collective Bricknasty are among the first Irish acts to be announced.

The event will also feature a soaring Other Voices debut from Sekou - the 18-year-old rising star of UK soul with more artists to be announced soon.

This year’s intimate performances will be captured across UCC’s stunning riverside campus with the historic Aula Maxima once again being transformed into the main stage, with The Glucksman Gallery and Honan Chapel also set to host an eclectic melting pot of sounds, with performances being livestreamed to the world via the Other Voices’ YouTube. 

A limited number of golden tickets for the recording of the performances will be available via the Other Voices at UCC public lottery here, with additional tickets which have been made available through competitions in the past weeks. 

Beyond the livestreamed performances, local talent will take centre stage with the ‘Other Voices of UCC’ warm up concert taking place in The Hub from 1pm - 3pm.
