It’s not the end of the road, just a pit stop. Ireland’s foremost trad warriors Kila have pushed their big red wagon up the hill for the last decade and a half, but a spontaneous outbreak of procreation among the seven-piece (all bar Colm O Snodaigh have sired offspring) has put a momentary stop to their gallop. The ensemble’s new album, the rollicking Live In Dublin, serves dual purposes as a summation of the band’s live prowess while buying them time to get the spiritual as well as fiscal auditors in.

Live In Dublin is out now on Kila Records, distributed by RMG
