Sliotar is a three piece band based in Dublin playing traditional music. The roots of the tunes they play come from the music of Ireland but are played in an original style thanks to the wide ranging influences of the members of the trio. Heavy, but suttle percussion, Jazzy and punchy guitar lays a engine like backing to the whistle, or uillean pipe solo melody. The Audience looses them selfs in Sliotars sets of reels and jigs. The songs are modern folk songs about real life experienses. Sliotars latest studio album, Crew of Three, has in its making seen the development of the groups unique approach to composition and arrangement which can be heard for itself at any of their 200+ gigs a year. The energy of their live show is something that can only be experienced and is not for the faint hearted. (edit)
