Villagers share acoustic version of 'Again'

After releasing their critically-acclaimed new album 'The Art Of Pretending To Swim' last year, Villagers have returned to share a rather intimate rendition of one of their record's most memorable cuts.

The new version of 'Again' sees frontman Conor O’Brien take to the piano for the rework, allowing the lyrics and his own voice to come to the forefront, and marks the start of the band's upcoming tour, which kicks off tomorrow (26th February) at Pontio Arts Centre in Bangor.
