Richard Hawley and Gavin James are amongst the first names to be announced for the new series of Other Voices, which will be shot in Dingle next month.

Also making their way to the Co. Kerry town between December 4th and 6th are former Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes, British singer-songwriter Lapsley and Irish rock band Otherkin, with more to be announced in the coming weeks.

If you or your band want to play Other Voices this year, you can also submit your application for the IMRO Other Room slot; entries are open from today until next Monday at 12pm via www.othervoices.ie.

Banter, the discussion and debate series hosted by Jim Carroll of The Irish Times, will also make a return to Other Voices, with guests TBA, while the Music Trail will see numerous bands and artists playing various locations around the picturesque town.
