Kila are still thinking with their feet

GLAMOUR is in short supply when you’ve been in a band for 25 years, says Kila’s Rossa Ó Snodaigh. 

The trad eight-piece have returned from a tour of Denmark and Germany, and then did a series of children’s daytime concerts in Ireland. They love what they do and would never be so ungrateful as to describe it as a slog — nonetheless, it’s hard work.

“It’s your livelihood,” says Ó Snodaigh. “There are no victory laps here. We sailed to Germany, went to Denmark, came back to Ireland for the kids’ gigs. It’s always been that way.”
