This concert is part of IMDL's Sliabh Aughty London Weekend: 12th - 14th April 2024

At this three-day event hosted by IMDL, the mighty trio Sliabh Aughty will 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.

For this special weekend they will play a Concert, a Session and a Set-Dancing Céilí.
