2025 Recitals / Concerts 

Our 2025 series of Concerts and Recitals will be held nightly at 8 pm in ‘The May Queen’ Tubbercurry from Monday 14th through to Friday 18th July.

We are delighted to announce that this year’s Monday night concert is a Tribute to mother and daughter, Bernie and Holly Geraghty, who have been long time contributors to the success of the South Sligo Summer School. They will be joined on stage by fellow tutors, family and musician friends and a great night’s musical celebration is in store. From Ballindine, Co. Mayo, Bernie has taught countless students throughout the region and is highly respected as both a music teacher and session musician. Holly now lives in Galway and has been the backbone of our harp classes at the summer school for many years.

The recitals throughout the week will feature an eclectic mix of tutors, students, local and visiting musicians with the Friday Night Concert highlighting our tutors and friends as well as our local stalwarts of the tradition. Each year the large and appreciative audiences are treated to a feast of the very best of traditional Irish music, song and dance over the five nights.
