Living Traditions Presentations is happy to bring to Flagstaff for the first time: Goitse with special guest, Dave Curley from Slide Ireland!

Goitse is a five member Irish Trad band which specialises in their unique rythmic arrangements of well known tunes and own compositions.

Modern Rhythms and Traditional Melodies are synthesized by this newly formed five piece band all of whom are students of Traditional Music and Dance at the University of Limerick.

The band, which is now entering its third year, was formed after Eoin Coughlan asked musicians to play for Telethon at Dolan’s, Limerick. The session produced exciting playing and an instant chemistry between the musicians and on that night Goitse was formed.

All five students are rooted firmly within the tradition and are well known and respected within Irish music circles. Their recently released CD includes many of their own compositions and owes its distinctive sound to the collaborative arrangements by all members.
