Kíla: Pota Óir

Kíla: Pot of Gold/Pota Óir is a portrait of one of Ireland’s most respected cult bands who merge folk and world music traditions into a euphoric live experience. Their unique and ever-evolving sound, while rooted in tradition, is inspired by a myriad of influences from musical traditions around the globe.

Director Anthony White followed the band on tour, capturing the infectious vitality of their performances in Ireland and the Cambridge Folk Festival, England.
