Oddsocks Revival
Oddsocks Revival is a hardworking four piece funk, rock and blues band, who are no strangers to rock ‘n’ roll. These Sligo musicians blend classic 70’s music styles with modern tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Their four lead vocalists and harmonies set them apart. Twin guitar solos, bombastic bass and hard hitting drums echo Celtic rock legends.
Their highly anticipated debut album It’s Time was released last Easter and the band has since been touring extensively in Ireland, the U.K. and on the continent. The line-up is Anthony Mannion (Lead Guitar/Vocals), Luke Mercer (Lead Guitar/Vocals), Michael Conefrey (Bass/Vocals) and Eoghan O’Kelly (Drums/Vocals) who were schoolmates. They built up a repertoire of original music and gained a reputation for playing lively 2-3 hour sets in the musical cauldron that is Sligo. After University they turned professional and have been on the road for the past two years.

The Oddsocks headline Sligo Live Festival Club
Saturday 29th Oct 10pm
Tickets €12
Sligo Live Festival Club is an exciting new concept this year with three separate music areas occupying the full ground floor of the Model off the atrium bar. The Black Box will rock to the Club Headliners, The Oddsocks, followed by roots mixes. On the Acoustic Stage, Billy Fitzgerald will host a stream of festival artists who have played in other venues, giving a flavour of the breadth and depth of talent on offer in Sligo Live. The Session Space, anchored by the Friels, will welcome musicians and festival goers whose interests are more traditional. The real craic will be moving from area to area sampling the variety of sounds on offer.
