We are Gobshites!

Peter Walsh
Lead singer and guitarist for The Gobshites, Pete started the band in 2002. You may also know him as Pete Depressed from the pUnK RoCk band Meat Depressed, among other things which we won't mention here. Pete also performs solo acoustic and hosts pUnKs aRe FoLkS tOo! (Punk Rock singers playing, singing and telling stories).

Stephen Feeney
Stephen plays accordion and provides backing vocals. You can also find him playing some harmonica and ensuring that cables are wrapped just right.

John Curtin
John plays tin whistle & bodhran (plus backing vocals), which is a far cry from his days drumming for hardcore band Sucker Punch, and slightly less different from his days as a stand-up comic.

Jeff Foreman
Fiddle, bouzouki, backing vocals. Jeff recently moved to Boston from Baltimore, where he played various instruments for Celtic punk band Charm City Saints, and their spinoff pub band Last Night's Whiskey (beloved at old folks homes everywhere). Email Jeff if you're interested in fiddle, tin whistle, or bodhran lessons.

Vanessa Mason
Vanessa joins the Gobshites as our full time bass player. After learning the drums as a student of our good friend & occassional drummer Pete Abdou, Vanessa most recently played guitar for Eternity Complex.
