Following the huge success of last year’s inaugural series of Anam - Songs for Hearts & Minds, Other Voices and Ireland’s Office of Public Works (OPW) are thrilled to announce its return this May with a host of extraordinary Irish and international acts set to grace intimate historical stages around Ireland. IrishCentral is delighted to be teaming up with Other Voices to bring you this special music series throughout May right here on IrishCentrl and over on our IrishCentral Facebook page . The brand new four-part series will bring together a dynamic and diverse group of artists, delivering inspiring live sets in some of Ireland’s most prestigious National Monuments and Heritage Properties.

From Dublin’s beautiful Pearse Museum in St Enda’s Park and the 17th century Parke’s Castle on the northern shores of Lough Gill in Leitrim, to Carrick-on-Suir’s Elizabethan manor house of Ormond Castle and Jacobean Manor House Portumna Castle in County Galway - these breathtaking Irish landmarks will operate as ethereal backdrops for this year’s Anam performances. Sign up to IrishCentral's newsletter to stay up-to-date with everything Irish! Grammy-nominated Big Thief bandleader Adrianne Lenker, magnetic Dublin polymath Uly, and young Donegal blues/country sensation Muireann Bradley at Tipperary's stunning Ormond Castle. View the full live sets here.
