Hire the Surly Goats for your Event!
We are available for your event, for shows between 1 and 4 hours in length. Our musical selections include mug-swinging chants, scores of jigs, reels, background mood music, and crowd favorite sing-alongs to fit your event's needs.
Have a special song you need? If we don't know it, we'll learn it! We've also been known to appear in costume upon request :)
