Other Voices Cardigan has announced two new headline acts for Other Voices Cardigan from November 3 – 5.
After smashing sets at SXSW, The Great Escape and the Isle of Wight Festival earlier this year, alt-pop superstar and creative visionary Mauvey is joining the festival from Canada to play an exclusive set of tracks from his upcoming ‘Before The Album’ EP which drops on November 4.
The festival also promises another huge Other Voices debut from the South-London neo-soul queen Poppy Ajudha. Following the release of her breath-taking debut record ‘The Power In Us’ earlier this year, she’ll be bringing her eloquent genre-fluid blend of jazz, R&B, soul, rock and pop to Cardigan for what’s set to be a dazzling performance from one of the brightest voices on the scene.
These artists complete the St Mary’s Church line up alongside Mercury Prize nominee Gwenno, Celtic pioneers Catrin Finch and Aoife Ní Bhriain, Welsh drill artist Sage Todz, indie-pop superstar Stella Donnelly and the brilliant Band Pres Llareggub.
This year also sees the return of the Other Voices Cardigan Music Trail which will take place in multiple venues around Cardigan, with more than 80 performances across the town from November 3 – 5. The full Music Trail schedule has just been published. Full details are now available online at othervoices.ie
Hosted by Huw Stephens, all the headline church performances will take place in front of a public audience and will also be streamed globally for free via Other Voices’ YouTube and socials on November 4 and 5 and live to the big screen at Mwldan in Cardigan.
The festival is presented in partnership between South Wind Blows, Mwldan and Triongl.
In addition to its inspirational programme of live music, Other Voices Cardigan will also present Clebran, a compelling and provocative curated series of discussion events that will explore and celebrate the enduring cultural ties between Ireland and Wales.
Featuring artists, journalists, creatives and politicians, the events will spark enriching, lively conversations about how we perceive our world, language and culture.
Full details on the line up and wristbands priced at £25 are available now at Othervoices.ie

Other Voices:
Other Voices started as a one-off music event in a small church in Dingle, a small fishing village in the west of Ireland and over the last 20 years the idea has grown. Other Voices is now an established fixture in the musical calendar – a ‘must attend’ event for performers and audiences alike. Other Voices has led to the creation of an international music TV series and the filming of that series subsequently became a music festival, a tourism event in its own right that celebrates the local on a global scale. In recent years Other Voices has travelled to London, Belfast, New York, Austin, Texas and Berlin.
