Kíla's music is featured in a gorgeous animated feature length film called The Secret of Kells. It has gone on general release in cinemas in Ireland, France and Belgium and will fingers crossed be going worldwide in the next few months. The soundtrack was done by brilliant French composer Bruno Coulais (Microcosmos and Coroline) and features Kíla's playing on many of the tracks, two co writes between Kíla and Bruno and two existing Kíla tracks. It is a beautiful film for Kíds and Adults and the Soundtrack which is available from shops in Ireland on Friday will also be available from the Kíla website in the next few days. www.kila.ie/shop
