County Sligo - Description

County Sligo (Irish: Contae Shligigh; lit. Shelly River) is a county in the province of Connacht in the west of the Republic of Ireland. Area: 1,836 km² (709 square miles). Sligo is bordered to the west by Mayo, to the south by Roscommon, and the east by Leitrim. County Sligo has a strong history of traditional music. The south of the county is particularly noted with such musical luminaries as James Morrison, Michael Coleman, Paddy Killoran, the band Dervish and tin-whistle player Carmel Gunning. The county has many traditional music festivals and one of the most well known is the Queen Maeve International Summer School, a traditional Irish Music summer school of music and dance which is held annually in August in Sligo Town. On the more contemporary music scene you have Westlife, Tabby Callaghan and The Conway Sisters who are from Sligo. Strandhill, about 9km west of Sligo, hosts the Strandhill Guitar Festival [1]each year, featuring a wide varierty of guitar music and musicians. The poet and Nobel laureate W. B. Yeats (1865-1939) spent much of his childhood in northern Sligo and the county's landscapes (particularly the Isle of Innisfree, in Lough Gill) were the inspiration for much of his poetry. Yeats said, "the place that has really influenced my life most is Sligo." The megalithic cemetery landscape of Carrowmore is located in County Sligo. The county town is Sligo (population: 17,892 [2]), which is home to the Institute of Technology, Sligo.
