Description

A leader of the new generation of Irish music-making, acclaimed quintet Goitse (Donegal Irish for ‘come here’) brim with ‘creative energy and zeal’ (Irish Music Magazine). Goitse achieves a distinctive sound by interspersing traditional folk tunes from the countryside of Ireland with their own compositions.

From the embers of Limerick’s Irish World Academy, Goitse comprises Colm Phelan on Bodhrán (a frame drum from Ireland), Conal O’Kane on guitar, Danny Collins on piano, Alan Reid on banjo and Áine McGeeney’s angelic vocals and fiddle. With their enchanting and energetic renditions of traditional Celtic music, Goitse takes the Irish music scene by storm.

Promising to ignite The Hub with their fresh take on trad music, prepare to be mesmerised by their infectious melodies and soaring vocals.
