Goitse Performs February 28 At UVU Noorda Center For The Performing Arts

The Irish folk band Goitse (pronounced go-WITCH-a) will perform on Monday, February 28 in the Noorda Center for the Performing Arts at UVU.

The popular and multi-award-winning quintet Goitse was forged in the creative crucible of Limerick's Irish World Academy. Named Live Ireland's "Traditional Group of the Year", Chicago Irish American News' "Group of the Year", as well as winning the prestigious "Freiburger International Leiter 2016" award in Germany, Goitse have become a leader of the new generation of traditional Irish ensembles.

Goitse has released four critically acclaimed recordings and maintains a year-round touring schedule that includes performances throughout Ireland and the UK, Germany, France and the United States. Their distinctive sound lies in the quality of their own compositions interspersed with traditional tunes from the countryside of Ireland and abroad, which make each performance unique. Laying the foundations for the music are World and All-Ireland Bodhrán champion Colm Phelan and Conal O'Kane, who is fast making a name for himself as one of the finest guitarists of his generation. The gripping rhythm section sets a powerful drive for the music while the sweet, charismatic voice of Áine McGeeney draws audiences into a song the way few performers can.

Together, the quintet Goitse makes what Irish Music Magazine calls "Music that's brimming with energy and creative zeal."

Goitse will perform at the Noorda Center for the Performing Arts on the UVU Campus at 7:30 PM on Monday, February 28, 2022. Tickets are available online at uvu.edu/thenoorda or by calling the Blair Family Box office at 801-863-7529.
