The Goats Celtic Rock Band

The Irish Goats

About Me

Based in County Mayo in the west of Ireland, The Irish Goats were formed summer 2006. Built initially around a five piece the goats could be described as a blend of Celtic folk, rock and just about other style available to play in.
Gerry O'Brien (Goat Vocals) "We are trying to put our own individual stamp on Celtic Rock Music and take it much further forward into the 21st Century."
The guys have performed over the years in various other semi pro bands, both in Ireland & the UK & Continental Europe, but now have joined forces to bring you their take on celtic rock.
Dates are now planned through the rest of the year touring Ireland & a mini tour of the UK taking in venues in & around Manchester.
2007 sees "The Goats" heading further afield on their "Bringing the Irish to You" tour. Interest has already been shown in as far away as Australia.
Please add your own comments to our site and download our demo. Our home web address is www.thegoats.info where you can join the forum, meet the lads, add comments and suggest further venues for the Band. Join up and we will e mail & text with upcoming dates and news. "The Goats" are a Band that will provide you with your own touch of "Celtic Warmth & Delight" and provide an exhilarating performance. We look forward to meeting you soon.
