#MusicCitySligo, something to think about…

Music is something Sligo does more of and better that most areas. It has diverse talents, diverse events, great venues, a legacy that goes back almost a century and generations coming through with music as a natural part of their childhood. It’s time for the many music interests in Sligo to get together and hatch a plan to make Sligo a ‘place of music’ to which others will come, spend time, and return.

The second coming…

Sligo hoped #Yeats2015 – a planned year long celebration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of ‘our’ poet – would be a focal point for a national and international interest in the region. It turned out largely as we would have hoped and established a foundation for the region worth building on. The challenge now is to do so in a meaningful way.
