Talulah's Goat

Although their faces may be familiar from around town, Talulah's Goat are relatively new to the Herefordshire live music scene. However, over the course of a few gigs in 2019 the band has already built up an eager following, due to the quirky nature of singer/guitarist Rob's songs, the blended vocals of Rob and Nicola-Rose and the gentle acoustic wash of the music which ifeatures Ann's wonderfully melodic violin and the hearbeat pulse of Lin's cajón.

What's not to enjoy?
