    Other Voices is a festival of sorts that has been running since 2003. It features quality young singers and musicians, as well as established artists like David Gray and The Coronas. RTE films some of the live performances and broadcasts them, together with bespoke performances and interviews by and with some of the artists, as a programme called Other Voices.

    Focusing on the RTE programme: I think it's absolutely brilliant. This is the sort of programming that RTE should replicate elsewhere: piggy-backing on some established event, allowing them to make cheap but worthy content. How many festivals are the in Ireland every year? This gives an indication. From comedy, to film, to food, there are numerous indigenous events that RTE could use as a focus for a cheap-to-make programming.
