South of Sligo is the village of Tubbercurry, a rich center of traditional music and one of the friendliest places in Ireland (http://www.tubbercurry.ie). Killorans Traditional Lounge and Restaurant is a unique blend of restaurant, museum, pub, ice-cream parlor and travel agency.
Each year in July, the village hosts the South Sligo Summer School (http://www.sssschool.org/), and the village is awash with traditional musicians. It's a wonderful opportunity for both hardened enthusiasts and casual fans of Irish music and dance to learn Irish dancing, then relax in the evenings at the sessions in Killorans. A few miles/kilometers away in Gurteen is the Coleman Irish Music Centre.
