Other Voices is set to bring the Dingle experience to Austin, Texas this October. Other Voices will decamp to the ‘Lone Star state’ for three days of music at the legendary Arlyn Studios between 7-9 October 2016. The line-up will be a combination of Irish and international talent and will be announced at the start of October.

“To head to Austin, Texas has been a life long dream. When we made Bringing It All Back Home 25 years ago we never got west of the Mississippi…I have been dreaming about Texas since.” said Other Voices founder, Philip King, announcing the event. “When I think of Texas, I think of music; the blues of Lightnin’ Hopkins, Buddy Holly, Texas Swing, Kitty Wells, Towns Van Zant, Guy Clark and all of it shot through with “A Lone Star State of Mind”. Other Voices has a great affinity with that spirit…. one that is intact in Austin and that lives in the iconic Arlyn Studios, which will be our home this October.  

It’s a real delight to accept an invitation to Austin from the passionate and wonderful team at Arlyn. We have great empathy with their work and with their achievements. Freddy Fletcher is a hugely significant figure in music and in music television and himself and his partner Graham Brown have put a real welcome on the mat for us.”

Fancy playing Other Voices in Dingle this December? If so, there’s still time to enter the Open Call for acts.
