Sligo Sounds Festival 1971 Fri May 28, 1971 - Mon May 31, 1971, Sligo, Ireland
There are not a lot of festivals in this era in Ireland. But this was a rare high profile one.
It featured a lot of top folk groups with a lot of them like Chapter Five and the newly-formed Horslips who were a magical blend of traditional Irish music with strident rock. The full three days line-up was Fairport Convention, Bridget St. John, Tír na nóg, Horslips, Dirty Dozen, Chapter 5, The Green Briar Skiffle Group, Farren Folk, Chieftains, Seamus Tansey, Double Vision, Louis Stewart.
I love that it was run by Patricia Dunphy from what looks like her house in Sligo.
It was advertised as a four day event of blues, rock, jazz and Irish music. Imagine Fairport headlined over the Whitsun weekend.
