We are delighted to host the Other Voices team and their new project ‘Courage’, which delivers uplifting, inspiring performances from brilliant artists to the public during the COVID-19 crisis.  Courage will beam these performances directly into homes across the nation and worldwide, from a number of iconic cultural locations.Their goal is to provide essential cultural output during this period. Music collapses distance in this time of isolation, it gives us courage, consolation and brings us together. 'Courage' series two has garnered a fantastic global response since it began on the 23rd of June, with concerts from renowned artists James Vincent Mc Morrow, Maija Sofia, Lankum, Kodaline, Cathey Davey among others.
