Gamblers' Ballet [SEP] record label
Gamblers' Ballet
Gamblers' Ballet is a 2007 album by the Irish folk band Kíla. It was nominated for the Choice Music Prize for Irish Album of the Year 2007. The opening track "Leath Ina Dhiaidh A hOcht"/"Half Eight" was the first single taken from the album. "Cardinal Knowledge" was used as the outro music for the Cartoon Saloon, Oscar nominated animation "The Secret of Kells", and "Dúisigí" and "Cabhraigí Léi" were used in the Japanese film "Kadokawa", which was
first appearance on record. By 1989 the two had diverged musically and Yarber's cousin left town, effectively ending their partnership.
The Compulsive Gamblers.
Following the breakup of The End in, Yarber's encounter with fellow musician Greg Cartwright led to the formation of the Compulsive Gamblers. Despite recording two 7-inch albums and a handful of home recordings, the band was unable to garner record label interest until after the success of their next band, the Oblivians. The Compulsive Gamblers would reform in the late 1990s and early 2000s
