Clannad Video Showcase

Clannad, like many other Celtic artists and groups, began with traditional material. They later expanded into rock, jazz, ambient, and world music. They come from Gaoth Dobhair (Gweedore), a part of County Donegal in the northwest of the Irish Republic between Northern Ireland to the East and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Enya is a member of the family, and recorded and performed with the group for a few years before leaving to pursue her own highly successful solo career in the early 1980s. Shortly after that, the group had a breakthrough with their album Magical Ring, which features "Theme from Harry's Game," the first (and so far only) recording in Irish to make it to the top five on charts in the UK.
