The Followers of Otis hail from the seaside metropolis of Galway City and were forged in the fire of its local music scene from an all star line up. Brother Danny and Brother Eoin have a long history going back to the heady days of performing with The Vice in the Gaf Café when they were barely fully formed from their mother's womb. They then graduated to the man-band that is Tahiti's Dream and made quite a name for themselves on the local scene; kicking out the jams at all the venues that Galway has to offer and more...but the lights of Galway weren't quite bright enough and they soon found themselves heading to Liverpool to find fame and fortune. Having studied under the guru that is Honza, they returned to Galway bigger and better than ever and ready to take on the world. But there was one piece of the puzzle missing. They found this missing piece in the shape of Brother Brian, a mystical figure who was busy expanding his songbook and honing his musical talents high up in his fortress above CPs nightclub, an oasis amid the cultural desert where hippie jam fests carry on long into the night. Some call it a cult, others call it a movement, others say it doesn't matter what you call it, anything that sounds that good, can't be a bad thing.* *With their latest release of recorded material, Followers including Sister Róisín have been drawn towards enlightenment. An open path awaits all those who wish to follow. Look, find, follow. Peace and Coco pops, Brother Kevin (Minister for Literature and Human Understanding).
