Gilla Band: Who Are Dara Kiely, Alan Duggan, Daniel Fox and Adam Faulkner?

Dara Kiely is the frontman for the Gilla Band and is one of the members who founded the band.

Kiely is 30 years old as of 2022. He started writing lyrics at a young age; he wrote his first song when he was five years old with his 15 years old brother. The lyrics of the songs were “animals don’t wear underpants” he thought it was a genius lyric at that age.

Since then, he discovered his interest in eccentric phrases and documenting things around him for his imaginative lyrics. But as he grew older, his writing style changed with various influences and experiences.

He has been discreet about his romantic relationship in public and rarely shares about his dating life. During an interview, he mentioned that he has a girlfriend but didn’t reveal her name.

Alan Duggan is the guitarist of Gilla Band and one of the band’s founders.

Duggan is 30 years old as of 2022. He was in a band with his bandmates Dara and Daniel in the band Harrows when they were in secondary school. The trio has known each other since childhood.

Like his band members, Alan is also secretive about his personal life, so he rarely shares the information with the media. In the interviews and podcasts, he is heard talking about the band, his favorite guitar, and his equipment.

He also shares the name with another Alan Duggan, an actor, and producer, so many confuse them as the same person. He also has no social media accounts like his other three bandmates.

He earns his money from the band from album sales and tours. He hasn’t revealed his net worth.

Daniel Fox is the bassist of Gilla Band and is the member who founded the band with his bandmates, Dara and Alan.

Fox is 30-40 years old as of 2022. He was in a band, Harrows, with his childhood friends Alan and Dara. Apart from being the group’s bassist, he is also a producer and a music engineer.

He loves playing through AD200 as he finds it easy to maintain grit and clarity, and it is a great tool both on stage and in the studio. It helps him to produce huge lows while having a beautiful midrange that can cut through the dense instrumentation.

On Spotify, we can find Daniel’s playlist, where he has added his current listening. His social media has content about his time in the studio and live performances. His Instagram profile is under @danielemonfox, with 1,331 followers.

He has been secretive about his private life, so less information about his early life is available. As he has been in the industry for a long time and has released albums and tours, he accumulated a substantial net worth.

Adam Faulkner is the drummer of the Gilla band and was the last member to get recruited into the band.

Faulkner is 25-30 years old as of 2022. In their new album, Adam’s drumming is robust and dominating, holding the sound together and taking the band into their deepest and densest sonic territory.

During his interview with NME, he mentioned that he went through a rough breakup and had a mental breakdown. He also suffered from depression and took a year-long break to return to his positive self.

Their album “Holding Hands With Jamie” is mainly about emotions, phases of depression, and the rehabilitation he went through during his breakup with his partner. Adam was worried that due to his personal problems band would break up.

As per his association with the band, Adam hasn’t revealed his net worth.

Gilla Band was formed in July 2011 in Dublin by band members Dara Kiely, Alan Duggan, Daniel Fox, and Adam Faulkner. The three band members, Dara, Alan, and Daniel, had known each other since childhood as they went to the same school and were in an indie rock band, Harrows, when they were 16.
