The fourth instalment of Other Voices, the acclaimed RTÉ Two music series, hits Irish television screens on Wednesday, January 25th at 11.30pm. The series, which will run for nine episodes, was recorded in front of a small live audience in the intimate surrounds of Dingle&acutes St James Church over eight nights in mid December 2005.

Thirty two local and international artists descended on the world famous Kerry town to add their voices including James Blunt, Rufus and Martha Wainwright, The Waterboys, Alabama 3, BellX1, The Walls, Teenage Fanclub, Nizlopi and Elbow. The series is presented by esteemed broadcaster and writer John Kelly, and will feature nine programmes in total.

Programme 9 will be a compilation of Other Voices highlights as selected by viewers through the series website www.rte.ie/tv/othervoices

Now in it&acutes fourth year, the Dingle recording of Other Voices has become a music festival in it&acutes own right, a unique and exciting gathering of the very best in local and international talent. Folk, rock, indie, alt country, dance, roots and much much more, all brought together in a glorious diversity of musical expression resulting in an aural and visual feast for the viewer.

This Other Voices series will differ from its predecessors in that performance footage will now be interspersed with interviews and behind the scenes material. Viewers of the TV series will get up close and personal with James Blunt at the Oceanworld Aquarium, catch Asian Dub Foundation unplugged on Ventry Strand, join Hal for a few games at the Dingle Bowling Alley and settle back for a chat with Rufus Wainwright in Benners Hotel!
