RURA combines the passions and influences of some of Scotland’s most exciting young musicians. Featuring three 'BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year' finalists and an All Ireland Bodhran champion, RURA's powerful music is creating a buzz throughout the folk scene. Highland pipes, whistles, fiddle, guitar, bodhran, flute as well as an array of effects pedals create a fierce and versatile sound. Having performed mainstage at a number of major festivals including Celtic Connections in 2011, RURA are fresh from recording their first demo. Rura’s line up at Sligo Live is Innes Watson – Fiddle and Guitar; Steven Blake - Highland Bagpipes and Whistles; David Foley - Bodhran, Flute and Whistles; Chris Waite – Guitar and Adam Holmes – vocals and guitar.
JPTRIO
Lively, fresh, adventurous describes thisnew trad/jazz/fusion sound from the Sligo based JPTrio. Brothers Ted and Jos Kelly and their former Sligo Grammar schoolmate Paddy Hazleton play a melodic and rhythmic fusion of traditional, jazz and world music where Paddy’s subtle driving beats propel the complex and musically sophisticated interchanges between Jos’s accordion and piano and Ted on banjo and tenor guitar. JPTrio were winners of a Danny Kyle award for emerging artists at Celtic Connections festival last January and all three are former members of the Siansa Gael Linn winning group Spraoi.
