The Slip Group was launched in September 2004 in Zagreb by Nikola Ceran and Ivo Turk (former member of Shamrock Rovers). The band's name originates from the Irish dance slip jig rhythm. The sound created by Slip is a synthesis of Irish traditional music and their very own compositions. The Slip band members are: Nikola Ceran (violin, viola), Tina McKay (bodhran ' Irish drum), Ivan Bilic (Irish flute), Hrvoje Sudar (acoustic guitar), and Ivo Turk (whistle or flute and low whistle).
