We have already had two spectacular nights of music with the Knocknashee Céilí Band and Téada, which played to appreciative audiences both within the Peace Park venue as well as thousands more who watched in online.
There were viewers in the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Sweden, Australia and in many more countries, not to mention the many more who watched in closer to home.
People have been so starved of live music, this has really been a positive for people, especially for the lucky ones who managed to grab one of the golden tickets. And with 4 live shows still ahead, it’s not too late to grab a ticket if you are in the Sligo area in the coming days. Traditions Meet will see musicians from different backgrounds come together for a special cross-border musical programme tomorrow night (Thursday at 8pm). Tickets for this event cost just €3.

Limited numbers of tickets – priced at just €20 – are available for all of these gigs, but move quickly if you want to come along.
