Galway Gals Celtic Band from Lyons, IL

WE ARE THE #1 IRISH DUO IN IL! "High level of vocal quality and musicianship!"--Fox Valley Entertainment Magazine WE RECENTLY PERFORMED ON WGN TV NEWS AND WERE ALSO INTERVIEWED! View the video on our page. WE WERE ALSO RECENTLY FEATURED IN THE RIVERSIDE LANDMARK NEWSPAPER. In a male-dominated Celtic music scene, Galway Gals are a breath of fresh air. Galway Gals blend the best of traditional folk with songs by modern pop artists. We are highly-trained musicians who are available for weddings, pubs, corporate events, private parties, senior homes and many much more. We carry liability insurance and can bring out a full band for large events. We have been a big hit with senior citizens as we know which tunes they know and love and we have performed for those with special needs and in memory care units.

This inspired us to make our full group even larger. We have added an additional 10 musicians to our Celtic collective, so please allow us to send out our musicians for your event. If we pitch members of Galway Group to you, we are pitching the most highly credentialed and talented musicians in Chicago who perform the same music as Galway Gals: jigs, reels, sentimental classics, drinking songs, in addition to songs by Irish favorites such as Van Morrison, U2, The Cranberries, The Corrs, the Pogues and many, many more. Please view the Galway Group sampler on this forum. We have a large amount of pop, rock and country tunes that we can sprinkle into our shows, if you are not looking for 100% Celtic. Please view our pop and country sampler on this forum! Galway Gals management also owns the Saddle Shoe Sisters band, a perfect 5 star reviewed retro 40s-60s act on this site. You can get discounts if you book both bands. "5 Stars are Not Enough to evaluate how good this group was for the people I serve.
