| The music of the Sliabh
Luachra region, a mountainous area that straddles the counties
of Cork, Kerry and Limerick, is justly noted for its vibrant
dance music where the polka and slide are king. Comprising accordionist
Dónal Murphy, a founding member of Four Men & A Dog,
County Cork’s master fiddler, Matt Cranitch and County
Kerry guitar ace and vocalist Tommy O’Sullivan, this trio
brings together Sliabh Luachra’s instantly identifiable
dance sound with songs and tunes that reflect the Irish contribution
to the music of the American south.
