If it’s the first weekend in December (ish), it means Banter heads to the most southwesterly edge of the country (ish) to hang with the good folks at\u00a0Other Voice<\/a>. As has been the case in 2012<\/a>, 2013<\/a>, 2014<\/a>, 2015<\/a>, 2016,<\/a>\u00a02017<\/a> and 2018<\/a>, this has always been one of the highlights of our year.\u00a0We’d like to say GRMA to the good people at Foxy’s and all at Other Voices for putting with us over the last few years.<\/p>\n

The formula is simple: we take over the back-room of Foxy John’s<\/strong> in downtown Dingle for the weekend, we light the fire and we’re joined by a cast of talkers, makers, activists, do-ers and players for some conversations and music.<\/p>\n
