About The Opacas

The Opacas were formed on-line during the Covid-19 lockdowns. What started as a fun remote collaboration developed into a fun real life collaboration as the venues re-opened and allowed live performances to take place. The Opacas are all about collaboration and create piano-only versions of their songs to show-case the works of local visual artists with videos on YouTube. They created fun videos with local amateur theatre groups (from Knocknacarra and Athenry) and last year did a collaboration with Moycullen Choir culminating in a a concert in St. Nicholas Collegiate Church. The Opacas are working to release a new single in collaboration with Galway based female vocalists Karosal which will be released in summer 2024. The Opacas are  Mike McLoughlin, Joe Treacy, Peter Tobin, Pat Boyle and Steve Talbot with Leeds based Mark Raynor completing the lineup.
