Furey's Pub Friday Vinyl Night - Sligo

Furey’s Pub on Bridge Street runs a Friday night vinyl session under the name Turn It On, with a rotating cast of local DJs playing records from their own collections rather than a fixed resident. Furey’s is better known as one of Sligo’s traditional pubs, with a Thursday trad session earlier in the week, so the Friday vinyl night is its turn toward a more contemporary, late night crowd without leaving the pub’s cosy, unpolished character behind.

What to expect

Turn It On has been running at Furey’s for years on a simple format, a different guest plays their own vinyl collection each week, so the style shifts from one Friday to the next, described by regulars as anything from shoegaze one week to house the next. It is a small room rather than a nightclub, so the night stays closer to a listening session with dancing than a full club night. Furey’s is on Bridge Street in the town centre, close to the Garavogue River, and keeps its traditional pub fittings and atmosphere even on its busiest nights, with the same room hosting live trad sessions and sports on other evenings of the week.

Getting there

Furey’s is on Bridge Street in Sligo town centre, within walking distance of the bus and rail station and the rest of the town’s pubs. No car is needed for a night out based in the town centre.

While you’re in Sligo

Bridge Street runs through the centre of Sligo town by the river, close to the town’s other pubs, restaurants and the Yeats memorial building. There is more to see in Sligo and across Co. Sligo.
