FESTIVAL SUBMISSIONS: Because we take most of our festival acts from our summer school faculty we are not taking any submissions from bands, sorry!

Sligo Jazz Project (SJP) is a volunteer-run organization which brings world class music and music education to Sligo, Ireland.

We make great things happen in Sligo! See how by watching these videos! See how we do it – our new video page
