Chuaigh Michael Coleman (1891-1945) ar imirce chuig na Stáit Aontaithe mar a raibh gairm rathúil aige mar fhidléir agus áit a ndearna sé cuid mhór taifeadtaí tráchtála. Bhí tionchar as cuimse ag a stíl ceoil ar na glúnta mar gheall ar a fheabhas is a bhí sé mar cheoltóir agus de bharr teacht a bheith ag daoine ar a chuid ceirníní. Léiriú amháin ar an meas atá air go fóill go dtugtar ‘Ceantar Coleman’ ar an dúiche arb as dó i ndeisceart Shligigh.
Ní raibh fáil le tamall ar an gcnuasach breá seo de shean taifeadtaí agus cuirfear na múrtha fáilte roimh an eagrán nua i measc daoine a bhfuil dúil acu sa stíl seo fidléireachta. Bhí Coleman ina mháistir agus aithnítear é mar eiseamláir de stil Shligigh. Tá 48 traic sa chnuasach seo agus rinneadh iad a thaifeadadh sna Stáit sna 1920í den chuid is mó, tráth a raibh Coleman i mbarr a réime.
