Band Slip was founded in September 2004 in Zagreb, Croatia, by the fiddler Nikola Ćeran and the whistle player Ivo Turk, who previously played in the band Shamrock Rovers. The band Slip was named after an Irish dance rhythm slip jig. Due to discrepancy of two mentioned band members with the musical conception of the former Shamrock Rovers, they decided to form a band that would fulfil their musical interests. Therefore they invited the bodhrán player Tina Mišković and the guitarist Hrvoje Sudar in the band. The first Slip’s concert was held in Croatian town of Sisak only a month after the band was formed. Since than, the band has had many performances. In June 2005 the flute player Ivan Bilić was invited to join the band. Ivan brought a fulfilled and more interesting sound into the band.

From the day of its foundation, Slip chose to perform the Irish instrumental music, which excludes engagement of vocals. In the musical sense Slip tries to find an expression that would be a synthesis of the Irish instrumental music and its own compositions. By combining these two elements, the band tries not to lose touch with traditional music. The band Slip performed in almost all major clubs in Zagreb and had concerts throughout Croatia. Slip also performed abroad (Slovenia, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria and Bosnia and Herzegovina). At the moment Slip is in the process of recording its first studio album...
