The 14th season of Other Voices returns on later this month with an exciting line-up that includes Glen Hansard and Gaz Coombes of Supergrass fame.

Hansard is making a welcome return to the show he once hosted while Mercury Prize nominee Gaz Coombes is making his debut performance in Dingle.

The new series also features a performance from the ever elusive Keaton Henson, the Minnesota based Low and another US act, Shakey Graves.

The ethereal Scandinavian torch singer Ane Brun will certainly be one of the most anticipated acts on the series, following her triumphant gig in Dublin last month.

As always, the IMRO Other Room will showcase five promising artists on the rise – Talos, HAWK, Bitch Falcon, Gavin Glass and Saint Sister. Viewer’s Choice Saramai will feature in an Other Voices Other Room special later in the year.

Annie Mac (BBC Radio 1) joins Huw Stephens from the same station and Fight Like Apes’ lead singer May Kay will between them host the five new episodes in the much-regarded music series.

According to Philip King, the executive producer of Other Voices, the new series "features songs and music full of heart and soul from the most amazing collection of musicians and artists ever to visit Dingle."

Other Voices, RTÉ 2, Saturdays from January 23, at 11.15pm
