‘Softly spoken off stage and complete lunatics on it, Kíla have torn up the rulebook with their wantonly eclectic mix of styles, Brilliant!’ Hot Press
For over thirty years Kíla have been thrilling live audiences at home and across the globe with their renowned energy and passion. Their ever-evolving sound, while rooted in tradition, is inspired by a myriad of musical influences worldwide. The members fuse their differing musical backgrounds, including Irish traditional, classical, folk and rock into a unique harmonious whole. The result is a fresh blend of freewheeling instrumentals, furious jigs, and primal rhythms that transcend the traditional boundaries of Irish music.
