Goitse

Goitse is a flourishing, highly talented five piece band fast making a name for themselves as one of the most sought after bands amongst connoisseurs of Irish traditional music. Their fast paced energitic playing has seen them enjoying a growing fan base through show stopping performances in Ireland, America, Finland, Denmark and even Africa.

The distinctive quality of their sound lies in the arrangement of well-known traditional tunes interspersed with their own compositions, which make each set entertaining and unique. The band adds their own distinctive contribution to their cultural inheritance with ease and style. Even with hints of continental playing and modern rhythms there remains the overwhelming presence of Irishness."They have a big musical imagination and are not afraid to tear at the edges of the trad envelope".--Irish Music Magazine.

Aine Mc Geeney, the fiddle player, is also a well known singer, with songs in the English and Irish language. Her sweet, charismatic voice draws audiences into the music a way very few performers can achieve.

Goitse's debut album which, was released in January 2010, has gained much praise from critics with Hotpress magazine assuring Irish traditional music lovers "They play with an easy assurance that should cause those fretting about the future of Irish trad to rest more easily at night."
