Sligo Jazz Project information


Sligo Jazz Project is an international jazz summer school and festival which takes place in Sligo every July.[1]

Sligo Jazz Project was formed in 2005 by a group of local musicians: Eddie Lee, Jim Meehan, Eddie McFarlane, and Felip Carbonell. Their vision was to bring world-class musicians to Sligo to teach and perform, with musical events that were non-elitist and affordable to everyone.  Its events take place at Sligo's Hawk’s Well Theater.[2]

Its first summer event ran in 2006, with Rufus Reid taking part.[2]  Since then the summer school, which takes place at ATU Sligo, has grown to become the biggest and most inclusive in Europe.[3]

Artists who have taken part in the Festival in recent years include UK composer Nikki Iles (Artist-in-Residence, 2022),[4][5] Christine Tobin,[4][5] Tony Kofi,[3][4] Lauren Kinsella,[5] and many others.
