“All of us at Other Voices are thrilled and delighted to bring you the second series of Anam – Songs for Hearts & Minds. With the guidance of the Office of Public Works, we took a band of musicians on a tour across Ireland and played magical music in four of the most beautiful heritage sites in the country. We can now share this trip with everybody on RTÉ television and on the RTÉ Player” says Philip King, Founder of Other Voices.
