I’ve just found out about the Sligo Live Music & Arts Festival that kicked off last night and runs through October 26th from Seán Laffey, via Shane Mitchell of the Sligo trad band Dervish, on IrTrad-L.
Headlining the concerts are The Saw Doctors, Josh Ritter, Martha Wainwright and Imelda May.
Also performing are Frankie Gavin, Tony DeMarco, PJ Gallagher and others bands as well.
This weekend’s SligoLive embraces the digital age by broadcasting some of the Festival’s top Traditional Sessions live online. World class musicians will be sitting waiting to play the occasional request while playing spellbinding and dynamic traditional Irish music live from one of Ireland’s music capital Sligo.
Is there a song you’d like to hear or a great reel you have not heard in a while, maybe even a Sligo tune? The folks at SligoLive are standing by the mailbox waiting to read your suggestions/requests (no matter how wacky). E-mail your messages; together with your name, location and dedication now to [email protected]
