Gweedore, County Donegal, Ireland (1970 – present)

Clannad is an Irish musical group from Gweedore, County Donegal, Ireland. Their music has been variously described as being folk music, new age, and celtic. Clannad are Máire Ní Bhraonáin (Moya Brennan), Ciarán Brennan, Pól Brennan, Noel Duggan and Pádraig Duggan. Eithne Ní Bhraonáin (Enya Brennan), Máire’s sister, used to be a member of the group in the early Eighties. The band won a Grammy Award in 1999 for Best New Age Album.

Clannad, whose name is taken from an Clann as Dobhar meaning the family from Dore, was formed by the Brennan family in 1970. Máire, Ciarán and Pól Brennan joined uncles Noel and Pádraig Duggan and began performing in their father Leo’s tavern. Máire’s sister, Enya, joined the band in 1979 and left three years later to pursue a successful solo career. Máire has also enjoyed a simultaneous career as a solo singer, starting with her 1992 album entitled Máire, and recently altered the spelling of her name to Moya Brennan.

Harry’s Game, the group’s theme song for a television thriller, prominently featured in the film Patriot Games, was also used in a commercial for Volkswagen in 1992, and won Clannad newfound popularity in the United States. Another hit was the 1985 song

In a Lifetime with Bono of U2. Their song,

I Will Find You, is part of the soundtrack for the 1992 film The Last of the Mohicans.

the world would be a worse place without the Brennans. I think 'Coinleach Glas An Fhómhair' is one of the most beautifully performed Irish ballads ever.

Ach .. z wiatrem się zgubić po obłokach się błąkać i nie patrzeć w na ziemskie troski wcale, ni raz jeden, by nie oszaleć ;o) Pięknie pobudza wyobraźnię. ;o)
