"High level of vocal quality and musicianship!"--Fox Valley Entertainment Magazine
In a male-dominated Celtic music scene, Galway Gals are a breath of fresh air. Liz McNichols and Anna Gillan are classically trained musicians who blend the best of traditional Irish folk with songs by modern Irish pop artists.
We are available for weddings, pubs, corporate events, private parties, senior homes and much more. We also carry liability insurance and can bring out a full band for larger events.
If we recommend members of our larger collective, Galway Group, to you, we assure you that we are recommending the most highly credentialed, talented musicians in Chicago to you.
Please view our sampler below or type in Galway Group in Youtube, and you will find numerous videos showcasing the immense talent in Galway Group. Galway Group always features guitar plus vocals plus an Irish melodic instrument such as violin, flute, tin whistle or melodica. ALL of our groups do pop, rock, country and alternative music in addition to Irish traditional folk. We do dozens of jigs and reels as well as Irish sentimental classics. We regularly do many of the same songs that you’d see the High Kings or the Dubliners do.
