Over the decades, Clannad have made music that entwines the traditional and the modern, the past and the future, with stunningly beautiful results. With their haunting songs, mesmerizing vocals, and captivating sound the group has sold over fifteen million records worldwide.

Their most recent album Nádúr, (Irish for Nature), was released in September and was their first album of new material since 1998.

Following that release the band undertook an extensive world tour with the show comprising songs from right their 40 year career as recording artists.

For this close-knit group, Clannad’s musical journey is both remarkable in its personal accomplishment and historic in its contributions to Irish culture.

It is indeed fascinating to consider that what today is so widely regarded as Celtic music was first called “Clannad music.” There is perhaps no greater testament to the impact of this groundbreaking group than that.
