A week long summer school of Traditional Irish Music, Song & Dance, featuring a packed programme of events including concerts, céilís, talks, practice sessions, outdoor gatherings and workshops in a broad range of instruments, singing and dancing.
The South Sligo Summer School is a well established annual event in the traditional Irish music calendar and draws people of all ages and levels of experience to Tubbercurry from all over the world as well as from all parts of Ireland and the local area, to immerse themselves in a week of music, song and dance. The area is renowned for its rich musical tradition and for the unique Sligo style of fiddle and fiddle & flute duet playing in particular.
