Kila

One of Irelands fastest growing bands.

Kíla are the high-voltage heroes of contemporary Irish music. With their eclectic blend of Gaelic poetry, traditional folk instruments and irrepressible dance-floor beats, Kíla have transcended the boundaries of traditional Irish music to create an inspirational freewheeling musical fusion that has propelled them to the forefront of the international world music scene. Their most recent album – a “ground-breaking musical union” (Froots) with Japanese singer Oki; conceived at the 2005 Festival of World Cultures, was short-listed for a 2006 BBC3 World Music Award.
Having toured extensively in more than fourteen countries on four major continents, their nine albums and live performances have been widely celebrated both at home and abroad. Celebrating their 20th anniversary and with nine albums and a recent Irish sell-out tour it is Kíla’s destiny to keep on growing.

Line up : Eoin Dillon; Uileann pipes, Colm Mac Con Iomaire; fiddle, Rossa Ó Snodaigh; Whistle, Bones, Rónán Ó Snodaigh; Bodhrán, Karl Odlum; Bass, Dave Odlum Guitar.
