Yet on their Irish tour they attracted audiences averaging over 2,000. In the States they pull in even bigger crowds and in the UK their last 40 date tour sold out. Last year they played main stage slots at all the major festivals including Heineken Music Festival, Glastonbury, Cambridge and Guilford. They also headlined the Murphy’s Music Tour two years in a row and have taken centre stage for Guinness and Cafferys throughout Europe. Goats Don’t Shave are the Biz! Energetic and lively with some great songs they never fail to leave an audience satisfied. From fantasy bop along songs to ballads highlighting the effect of domestic violence GDS have in their mists one of the world's most talented young songwriters in Pat Gallagher. A cult band they may be, but walk into any of the Irish or Celtic pubs in Britain and across the world and all you’ll be guaranteed to hear the bands covering many a Goat song including Las Vegas in Donegal, Evictions or Mary Mary.
