Described by Niall Byrne in the IRISH TIMES “taking Sligo Live from regional curio to international renown.   Sligo Live has now firmly established itself as folk, roots and indie non-profit festival with an international reputation”.

Described by HOT PRESS “Sligo Live is a wonderful festival based on a simple, but charming concept: gigs all over town in a wild variety of very different venues. It’s not just about the main acts playing in the Knocknarea Arena. It’s also about the music scene in Sligo, a social gathering of musicians, and a celebration of music in general.   Even if you’re an outsider, you’re immediately made to feel welcome”.

Described by the critics as “unique, different, brilliant…………an opportunity to see big names, new names, different genres, and so many bands in one giant music cauldron”.
