Venue: Knocknashee

Musicians in south Sligo who developed the Sligo Style of playing fiddle and flute music in particular, were inspired by the countryside that surrounded them. Nowhere overlooks this terrain more than the Hill of Knocknashee. Translated as Cnoc na Sídhe (Hill of the Faeries), Knocknashee is an ancient place which was inhabited in ancient times and where two large stone cairns sit on it’s table top summit. A new walkway has been built up the side of Knocknashee, and for this walk, we will be joined by a number of musicians who will play tunes and sing songs on the summit of Knocknashee.
