Irish duo Mick Flannery and Susan O'Neill set for a Sligo Live reunion
Tickets are on sale now, on-line from Sligolive.ie and, as always, early booking is encouraged to obtain the best seats and avoid disappointment.
In late February 2020, Mick Flannery and Susan O'Neill appeared live on The Late Late Show in Ireland to perform their stand-out song Baby Talk, which was released the following week.
The performance sparked a creative connection between the two artists that would soon grow into something much bigger.
Soon after, Mick and Susan began writing and recording together, ultimately creating a full album of original songs.
The result, In the Game, was released in September 2021 to widespread acclaim.
It debuted at No. 1 on the Irish Independent Albums Chart, remained in or near the Top 20 for several weeks, and went on to become the biggest-selling record in Ireland by a non-major label in 2021.
Mick and Susan took In the Game on the road throughout 2022, touring extensively across Europe and North America.
Their performances captivated audiences, with the album's songs forming the backbone of a moving, timeless narrative about the life of musicians—on stage and off, in love and in struggle.
In the Game has since become a cherished record both in Ireland and abroad, where it continues to find new listeners.
Now, five years after that first performance, Mick Flannery and Susan O'Neill backed by an impressive band return to Sligo Live for what promises to be an unforgettable first Knocknarea Arena performance in ATU Sligo.

Novelist Frederick Forsyth dies, aged 86
Frederick Forsyth, the author of The Day of The Jackal, has died at the age of 86 after a brief illness, his literary agents Curtis Brown said. The best-selling author was surrounded by his family as he died at home on Monday morning, Curtis Brown added. Jonathan Lloyd, his agent, said: "We mourn the passing of one of the world's greatest thriller writers. Frederick Forsyth on The Late Late Show "Only a few weeks ago I sat with him as we watched a new and moving documentary of his life - In My Own Words, to be released later this year on BBC1 - and was reminded of an extraordinary life, well lived. "After serving as one of the youngest ever RAF pilots, he turned to journalism, using his gift for languages in German, French and Russian to become a foreign correspondent in Biafra. "Appalled at what he saw and using his experience during a stint as a secret service agent, he wrote his first and perhaps most famous novel, The Day of the Jackal (1972), and instantly became a global bestselling author. "He went on to write more than 25 books (many of which were made into films) that have sold over 75 million copies. "He will be greatly missed by his family, his friends, all of us at Curtis Brown and of course his millions of fans around the world - though his books will of course live on forever."
