The mighty trio ‘Sliabh Aughty’ bring the finest of traditional Irish music from the East Clare/ East Galway region, where the mountain range they are named after, stands proud. There is an infectious pulse to their music and a respectful nod to music of the greats who have gone before them.

 Mark Donnellan: East Clare native, fiddler, regular host of the renowned Wednesday evening sessions at Pepper’s Bar in Feakle and son of one of the founding members of the Tulla Céilí Band Francie Donnellan.

Jim Corry: East Clare native, pianist and member of a number of popular céilí bands, including the Swallow’s Tail and the Salamander.

All three musicians are long time members of the legendary Tulla Céilí Band – who marked the band’s 70th Anniversary with their 6th album in 2016. 

Sliabh Aughty previously appeared in concert in London during the 20th Return to Camden Town Festival, at Kings Place in 2018 and at the Irish Cultural Centre in April 2022. We look forward to welcoming them back.
