For more than a century there have been strong linksbetween traditional music in Sligo and the U.S.A. Torecognise and strengthen this bond, The Fiddler ofDooney has an adjudicator with strong bonds to thetradition in America. Brian Conway, Winifred Horan, TonyDe Marco, Liz Carroll, Kevin Burke and Maurice Lennonhave all filled that role.

The band thatdefined a generation, lit up Sligo Sounds 71 - Ireland’sfirst-ever rock festival. At that time nobody had seen anact like them, mixing prog rock with traditional music. They turned trad into rock! Fintan O’Toole described it wellin the Irish Times: “Within a year, Horslips, extravagantlycoiffed and dressed up like peacocks at a wedding, weretuning up their electric mandolins. Within another year,they were the biggest rock band yet seen in Ireland.”

IN CONCERTHorslipsplus special guests Moxie
