Sligo Live Curates a Triple Bill at Celtic Connections, Glasgow. 2012
18-11-2011Marking the second year of Celtic Connections’ partnership with the Sligo Live festival, another triple bill curated from Ireland’s traditional heartland – and one of its most exciting contemporary hotbeds – reunites the fabled partnership of pioneering accordionist Máirtín O’Connor with guitarist, singer and fiddler Seamie O’Dowd, as heard on O’Connor’s 2005 album The Road West.
Aptly-named indie-popsters The Gorgeous Colours channel blues, folk, jazz, soul, rock, indie and electronic influences into “a perfect package of feelgood, danceable and all-round gorgeous sounds” (State.ie), while O’Connor himself has hailed young Sligo natives and Danny Kyle Award winners The JPTrio as “the new cutting edge of fused traditional music”.
