I remember hearing Ten Strings And A Goat Skin for the first time at a Festival of Small Halls event in Murray River Hall back in 2008 when they were just talented young kids.

They put smiles on everyone’s faces and always have hands clapping and toes tapping. Truly a joy for audiences to watch.

Ten Strings And A Goat Skin were one of the most professional and talented groups to ever grace the Harmony House Theatre stage.
