Kila

Kila have develeoped their own particular style of traditional Irish music over the past 20 years. Blending elements of jazz and gipsy music, the sheer energy and exuberance of their performances have brought them worldwide acclaim.

Sunday Tribune - 23rd July 2006: "Surely Kila is the only contemporary trad outfit worth talking about, although on record they could not possibly match the supernatural energy of live performances

Village Voice November - 2003: "These Irish upstarts smash the concept that traditional Celtic music is not to be tampered with -- they fused techno, Afrobeat, and electric guitars to it. Now out in support of Luna Park, the band is more subtle, but the tunes still have an ecstatic, heart-pounding quality that is often transcendent, particularly live".

Seven Deadly Skins

Deadly by name, Deadly by nature, The Skins have been knocking out the best of Reggae and Ska for seven deadly years.The many musical influences, styles and personalities of this band have resulted in an unmistakable raw sound.
