Five Years of Sliabh Luachra Records
The Sliabh Luachra Records label recently marked its fifth anniversary. To celebrate, a 20% discount is available across the catalogue using the code “5years”:

Over the past five years, the label has played an important role in increasing the visibility of traditional music releases while also helping to shape a working model for a small, independent label in this space.
Recent activity has included the reissue of Between the Strings (2011) by Adrian McAuliffe & Cathal Flood:

Alongside this, a new pressing of Mo Cheantar Féin by Emma O'Leary (2021) has been produced in collaboration with the artist:

There has also been renewed interest in Tranquility in Tureencahill by Bryan O'Leary, following his recent work with Aidan Connolly:

Further archival and new releases are currently in development.
