SLIGO STYLE
​
This style was first developed in the latter stages of the 19th century in the homes of rural south County Sligo, where musicians, friends and families would meet and share music. Because of the proliferation of musicians in the area, tunes and styles were shaped by those in attendance into what became a unique way of playing music, which became a badge of identity for those involved. Teachers like Philip O’Beirne were also fundamental in nurturing young musicians to develop their own style in what was a petri dish of musical interest and talents.
