PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT
Sliotar is a three piece band based in Dublin playing modern folk music. The roots of the tunes they play come from the music of Ireland, but in the past few years the group is relying more and more on original
compositions. Sliotars fourth album, Cirque de Sliotar, has finally captured the modern sound that has been in development and has been an obvious at their live shows. Sliotar has been around now over twelve years,
eight with the current line up, and they have one of the longest running residencies in Dublin in the Porterhouse. Also in the past few years Sliotar have changed their way of touring, resulting the band travelling all around Europe and even further. And still the Sliotars best asset is the live show. Around 200 concerts every year keeps the band tight andthe energy of their live show is something that can only be experienced and is not for the faint hearted.
