Hoping everyone attending the in Belfast this weekend has a great time.
Trad has been at the heart of McIlroy Guitars since we first sent instruments down to Perfect Pitch in Dublin and seen them bought by Donal Lunny, Declan Sinnot, Jimmy MacCarthy and many more. And then over to Moloney Musical Instruments in Galway where a new generation of trad players bought their McIlroys.
I very quickly, off the top of my head, put together a poster of Traditional players that own or have owned a McIlroy over the past 26 years. Apologies if I've missed you out. Go raibh maith agat

Very cool shot of Laura from Biird with her AG32c, or is that Lisa?

With close to 1m visitors expected in Belfast for the , we have been asked if we are attending any of the instrument villages.
Unfortunately we don't really have any instruments available, so we wouldn't be able to put on a good show (victims of our own success lol).
We would however be up for "limited" group visits to our workshop, which is 20 mins from Belfast, if anyone was interested?
They would have to be on Wed 5th / Thur 6th Aug at 2pm (one or both days if there's enough interest).
Numbers would be limited to around 6 people.
If interested, send us an email and we'll look at organising a slot.

Bridge slotting (not a euphemism).

Very sad news indeed.

"The Final Chapter for Hiscox Cases
For more than forty years, Hiscox cases have protected instruments on stages, in studios and on journeys all over the world.
After every possible effort to secure the future of Hiscox cases, it is with great sadness that I have to announce that production has now come to a permanent end.
The Polish factory that produced the cases is no longer able to manufacture them and, despite extensive discussions with several potential manufacturing partners, no viable way forward could be found. The complexity and investment required to restart production has simply proved too great.
This means there are no plans for Hiscox case production to resume.
