Other Voices and UCC present Bringing It All Back Home

7 Sep 2022

UCC’s beautiful Aula Maxima, its iconic Honan Chapel, and its award winning Glucksman Gallery will be the backdrops for Other Voices: Bringing It All Back Home which promises to be an unforgettable night of music and song live streamed from campus on Thursday September 29th.

‘Other Voices’ founder and UCC graduate Philip King and his team have put together an array of some of Ireland’s most brilliant musicians for the event. Hosted by legendary Other Voices presenter MayKay, the line-up will include: Mercury Prize nominee SOAK, Cork-born, London-based rising star Cian Ducrot, a solo set from the magnificent Susan O’Neill, as well as an exclusive performance from critically acclaimed Cork-born experimental artist Biig Piig.

Performances across the UCC campus will include alt-electronic artist and member of the Soft Boy Collective Yenkee, art-punk Cork three piece Pretty Happy, three-part harmony trio Rufus Nightjar consisting of Branwen Kavanagh, Anna Mieke and Zoe Basha, plus a band of UCC traditional musicians led by Caitlín Nic Gabhann, UCC’s artist in residence for 2022.

The arts have the power to both inspire and bring people together. After two years of the pandemic our community will be brought together, as the most beautiful University campus in Ireland will echo with music and dance. We have exciting plans for the future development of arts and culture at UCC and we are proud to welcome home distinguished UCC alumnus Philip King. We thank Bank of Ireland for their support and hope this event is enjoyed by all both at home and across the world.
