As crowds prepare to descend upon Dingle next weekend for one of Ireland’s most iconic musical gatherings, also take time to check out Other Voices Belfast as, in October 2017, Belfast’s Duncairn Centre welcomed Other Voices to the city with open arms. A warm invitation from one of the world’s greatest musical cities, the three-day gathering of music, creativity and technology was an opportunity for Other Voices to add a unique Kerry-born essence to the proud and compelling contemporary voice of Belfast.
A feast for the senses, this potent evening of live music showcased the best in new musical talent also featuring sets from Grammy shortlisted trad giants Beoga, lo-fi acoustic gems from Portadown’s Jealous of the Birds and some daring, minimalist electronic magic from Derry’s Ryan Vail. The show also features Kildare pop-rock, arena touring duo Picture This, the spine-tingling atmospheric folk of Hampshire born, Donegal bred Rosie Carney and an electrifying set from Derry purveyors of punk, Touts. Presented by Huw Stephens, May Kay and Rigsy, watch Other Voices Belfast, From the Duncairn now on RTÉ Player in RTE Player Highlights.
If you’re a fan of Scandinavian dramas then look no further to Ride Upon the Storm. In this Danish drama about devoutly religious family, the story explores how faith and religion can affect our lives. Centred around parents Johannes and Elisabeth and their sons August and Christian, the story details a family of priests tracing its roots back more than 250 years. Johannes, the head of the family is God-like to his sons in that he gives, loves and punishes.
Showing favouritism to August and disappointment in Christian, his actions force his sons into making desperate choices in order to either gain his love or break free from him. And this path will lead to war and encounters between different religions seen through the intimate lens of a family drama. Starring Lars Mikkelsen (House of Cards), Ride Upon The Storm explores good and evil and the spiritual journey towards seeking a greater meaning in life because we all want to believe in something when a storm is approaching. Watch the first episode now on RTÉ Player in RTE Player Highlights.
