Back to Coach Road to Sligo (2) (The)


COACH ROAD TO SLIGO [2], THE. AKA and see "High Road to Sligo," "Tar Road to Sligo (The)," "Races at Carrick (The)." Irish, Jig. B Minor ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part). As "The Tar Road to Sligo" this was part of County Sligo/New York City fiddler Michael Coleman's 1927 "Tobin's Fancy" medley.

Renowned 20th century fiddler James Morrison was born in 1893 in Drumfin on the Coach Road to Sligo, near Riverstown. The road is the main road out of Sligo town heading towards Ballina in County Mayo and is still called Mail Coach Road, a relic of the system of mail routes in Ireland established in the latter 18th century.
