A night at the Guinness Storehouse always carries a certain magic, but this edition of Other Voices: Home at Guinness felt like something rarer still, a gathering where music, poetry, and place intertwined in a way only Dublin can conjure. Across the evening, the iconic building became a living, breathing stage, its warm brick and steel echoing with voices that spanned genres, generations, and emotional registers.
Sprints brought raw electricity, their set pulsing with urgency and intent. Brogeal followed with a whirlwind of folk‑driven energy, the kind that lifts a room before you even realise you're smiling. Rachel Chinouriri had a different kind of charge,intimate, crystalline, and utterly arresting. Paula Meehan’s words grounded the night with poetic clarity, while Lisa Hannigan’s unmistakable voice wrapped the audience in something gentle and luminous supported byThe Theodora Byrne Trio who added rich, soulful textures, rounding out a lineup that felt both eclectic and perfectly balanced.
Guided by the steady, generous presence of May Kay and Philip King, the evening unfolded with the ease of a shared story, one told through song, verse, and the unmistakable spirit of Irish creativity.
This gallery captures those moments: the light, the faces, the atmosphere, and the spark that made it all unforgettable.
