Kila Gig

Kíla fuse Irish (Gaeilge) lyrics, folk instruments; Fiddles, Uilleann  pipes, Bodhrán, Bones and Woodwinds with Djembe, Congas, Drums,  Mandolin, Brass, acoustic and electric guitars. The result is a fresh  blend of freewheeling instrumentals, furious jigs, and primal rhythms  that transcend the boundaries of traditional Irish music. Bristling with  passion and energy!

Kíla celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2017 and continue to sound  incredibly fresh and exciting. Formed at school in Dublin in the late  1980’s, they are heralded as one of Ireland’s most innovative and  exciting bands. Their unique sound has continued to evolve. Rooted in  tradition, yet inspired by a myriad of influences and ideas from across  the world.

The band continue to bring their ‘energetic, creative and wildly  exuberant music’ (France’s Trad Mag), to festivals across Europe

The band are riding high on the success of their 2016 album ‘Suas  Síos’, the writing of the remarkable music for Cartoon Saloon’s Oscar  nominated films; The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea, and the Emmy  nominated documentary Ireland’s Wild River – The Secret Life Of The  Shannon.

The band have produced 10 critically acclaimed studio albums and on  St Patrick’s Day 2017, the long awaited Live album ‘Alive’, was  released. Featuring fun and vibrant performances of favourite tracks  from the vast Kíla back catalogue.
