World Air Fiddle Championships
The popular finale of Sligo Live Festival’s Saturday Family Fun Street programme, where even those who can’t play but would like to, but can do a pretty good impression have the ‘World Air Fiddle Championships’ which has proved such a hit each year. Air guitarists have had their moments of glory in the front rows of concert halls, dance floors and full length bedroom mirrors across the world. The people in Sligo Live come from a more traditional background and wondered if fans of Frankie Gavin, Martin Hayes and Kevin Burke ever secretly listened to their ipods with an imaginary bow dancing across an air fiddle under their chin. Air Fiddling was being overshadowed by the ubiquitous air guitar and Sligo Live felt that traditional air musicians must be given their 15 minutes of fame. Airheads from all over Ireland applauded this initiative. The Championship is judged on the clapometer, driven by audience response so everybody has a chance to be Simon Cowell. Laugh till you fall down at the hilarious antics of the air fiddlers.
