Shave The Goat

Did anyone else hear the pre-Folk Awards Simon Mayo Drivetime show last Wednesday especially the folk club confession concerning the Rochdale Fighting Tambourine and the need to get a tattooed goatskin for a decorated bodhran? A classic!

After Billy Bragg's discussion of his goat-herding experiences and the need to shave the goat before tattooing it, I suggest "Shave The Goat" as a name for a folk band, and "Bonaparte Shaving The Goat" as a good name for a new tune...

"Goats Don't Shave" is the name of an Irish band -or used to be anyway lol.
the recitation at this link, "Skin the Goat's Curse on the Informer Carey" , was written in 1883 by James Fitzharris, alias "Skin the Goat":
