Kilnaboy was hatched in the cold dank Feb of 2004. The band comprises of 6 drunken boys on heat and 1 worried lass whose mission is to spread our own peculiar brand of dirty, filthy folkery pokery to the world and hopefully plant a subversive seed along the way.

Bringing traditional folk into line with the aid of punk and roots undertones, this eclectic brand of upbeat magic and madness will have you jumping from table to table and flailing the dance floor wildly. Kilnaboy, the name, hails from a tiny village on the West Coast of Ireland. It has no deep or powerful meaning and to be honest we didn't give it a great deal of thought. However the name has stuck and has grown on us like like the funnell mushrooms in the back of our van. Having spent the early years in the sweaty clubs n pubs of Cardiff, drinking and cavorting excessively, we are now more likely to be found in muddy festival fields worrying apathetic hippies and chasing morris dancers out of town.

Most of our ideas and influences stem from a protesting background and the constant frustration of trying to exist in an industry where music is lost in a void of cloned popstars. We will carry on regardless in the hope that music still has the power to change the blinkered perception of mainstream society.
