Sligo Rovers V St Patrick's Athletic

Tickets available from the Coleman Music Centre box office.
Wine O'Clock
Get ready to raise a glass and laugh out loud as acclaimed Irish actress and comedian Norma Sheahan brings her smash-hit comedy show It's Wine O'Clock to the Hawk's Well on Saturday, May 31.
Known for her sharp wit, warm charm, and razor-sharp storytelling, Norma takes audiences on a wildly funny journey through the ups and downs of modern life — from motherhood and menopause to health scares and hilarious misadventures — all washed down with a splash (or three) of wine. This riotous one-woman show is the ultimate girl's night out, but everyone is welcome to join the fun.
Elevation
'Elevation' by Conor Gallagher opened at the Hamilton Gallery last Saturday, May 24. Elevation started in Spring 2024 with journeys around Teesan, Carncash, Rahabarna and Kiltycooly in north Sligo where there are remarkable views of the Dartry mountains at close range. The show features paintings, photography and prints which are part of Conor's 'Sligo Mountain Series'.
Conor's paintings in acrylic with their dramatic monotone blue skies offer a unique view of these familiar locations. These paintings often started in a realistic style and were then de-constructed which involved literally scraping back to the surface.

Sligo Live confirms another headline show as Americana and folk artist Frazey Ford joins line-up
Tickets are on sale from Thursday, May 29, online from and in person or by phone 0719161518 from Hawk's Well Theatre's box office. Sligo Live urge fans to book early to select the best seats and avoid disappointment. Frazey Ford is one of Canada's most distinctive voices, a singer-songwriter whose music defies easy categorization. Emerging as a founding member of the folk trio The Be Good Tanyas, Ford helped pioneer a roots revival in the early 2000s that blending Americana, folk, and alt-country. Her solo career has taken her into new territory. Ford's 2010 debut 'Obadiah' introduced listeners to a more soulful, introspective side of her artistry, fusing folk with slow-burning Southern soul. She followed it with Indian Ocean in 2014, recorded in Memphis with members of Al Green legendary Hi Rhythm section. Frazey Ford's third album, 'U kin B the Sun', is a luminous, defiant work that deals with themes of transformation, healing, and inner strength. Her lyrics speak to both personal and political awakenings, delivered with a voice that's both intimate and soaring. Whether she's channelling soul, folk, or R&B, she delivers songs that feel lived-in, real, and rooted in the complexity of human experience. At turns ecstatic and heavy-hearted, gloriously shambolic and deeply purifying, 'U kin B the Sun' is the outcome of a certain personal transformation that Ford has experienced in recent years. 'I used to speak more in metaphors, but this album came out in a much more raw and direct way,' she says. 'I'd say that's a result of being more in my body and more in touch with the wholeness of anger, with taking up space and having boundaries. On this record I freed myself from the folk-writing format, and it's been a whole different exploration for me.' ADVERTISEMENT Learn more Frazey Ford Tickets are €34 plus fees and are available on-line at and in person or by phone (071) 916 1518 from the Hawk's Well box office. Frazey Ford joins a Sligo Live Festival line-up which includes, Sharon Shannon Big Band with guests, Steve Earle, Mundy, Camile O'Sullivan and Liam O Maonlaí in the Knocknarea Arena on October 25 at 8.30pm.
