Speaking about the collaboration founder member Rossa Ó Snodaigh said… “This album breaks new ground, not only for Kíla but for Trad in general” Brian Hogan, Kíla's bassist said.. “The brass adds this depth and enormity to the sound With a career spanning over five decades, with 20 releases, and collaborations with esteemed musicians such as U2, Ronnie Wood (The Rolling Stones), Sinead O’ Connor, Dubliners, Shane McGowan, Glen Hansard and Donal Lunny. The new album collaboration reflects the imagination, reinvention and the creative genius that Kíla are known for.
