[ydomanoaccount5je]

Irish people are probably the most talented indigenous human culture on the planet.

[ddthienvuong]

is that woman Moya Brennan? she looks so different

[Thx1138d]

She is only 16 years old here.

[gundabalf]

@Thx1138d more like 25

[Thx1138d]

You are right!

[William2020a]

Thanks for posting! Saw this at the Celtic Woman concert in Atlanta and it sounds just as great in Irish!

[FrankioloDiddlyDee]

thanks for upload, great tune. ah we're coming back to what matters i think again.

[KickazzRedhead]

I never get tired of listening to this song :) Love the liveliness of it! :)

[ruadhani]

Is maith liom é.

[RunrigFan]

[tcoudi]

heard them live 14 of july on colours of ostrava.great show for me.this was encore.

[msponsler1]

I agree with another commenter...Clannad before they went "hollywood" was terrific

[quassar89]

So f..... Amazing !!

[SaorEire]

Clannad before they sold out

[konked]

@SaorEire What they did with combining synthetisers with traditional backround is great. It is a pity that puristic attitudes and gatekeepers want to keep things as they are. The same comments of selling out are typical in every genre of music be it metal or whatever. Should the band play outside the club or bar of 100 or sell more than 50 self made CD:s it is a sell out. Many new innovative styles of music would not have been invented e.g folkrock if listening the no electric guitar people.

[rotarycomet]

[gilfr101]

More Celtic Languages (continuing the stretch :) )

Another 2 languages of the Celtic family are still alive and kicking: Welsh (in Wales) and Breton (in Brittany, France). Those two are closely related and are mutually intelligible. They belong to a different (older) branch of the Celtic language family than the branch of the trio Irish/Manx/Scottish.

[gilfr101]

On the Irish, Scottish, and Manx, languages:

The three languages Irish, Scottish, and Manx, used to be the same language, and drifted apart during the middle ages. Manx (spoken on the isle of Man) is now “officially” extinct, as the last native speaker died (On the Internet I have found claims that the truth is not so, but it is definitely not a thriving language).



[gilfr101]

On Scottish Gaelic: (continuing a comment by rufus566 from 3 weeks ago):

The Scottish variety of Gaelic is called "Scottish Gaelic" (or Scots Gaelic),

to differentiate it from Scottish English, the Scottish variety of English.

Scots Gaelic is spoken in the Highlands of Scotland (inasmuch as it is still spoken), and Scottish English is spoken in the Lowlands. Note, by the way, that Scottish English is a different variety of English than just “Standard” English with a Scottish accent.

[edgluhrs]

O, this is the good old school Clannad!!!

[ruiseartalcorn]

I've always loved this song :)

Ruiseart.

[lowlandmama]

This is by far my favorite band ...... Years of listening..THANKs

[Illuminateur]

Uh, don't you mean Téigh abhaile thú?

[AoibheClaire]

@Illuminateur No. This video was put up by TG4, the official Irish language station here in Ireland. I also learnt this in my Music class. They aren't wrong at all.

[MarkAlex7787]

love clannad

[itsibitsispiderUSMC]

there was one album around 1985 that i think was mushrooms that had a song about henry's gluttony, "more meat ,more meat , more meat to feed king henry gluttony, bring him his dogs, to feed his pleasantries, and he will make them gone too where their neither hide nor hair" i think !!

[itsibitsispiderUSMC]

EARLY CLANNAD -- so wonderful, speacially the song to henry v111

[bookkeeper57]

@itsibitsispiderUSMC Is it really dedicated to Henry VIII? Details please.

[locomotive1804]

Heh! Come diwn the road wtih me....

[althganur]

Pleas someone teach me to speak Irish

[EsotericSilverside]

@althganur Irish isn't a Language.

[lightabove]

@EsotericSilverside what about gaelic?

[caoimhindebarra]

@EsotericSilverside

In Ireland the language that people in North America refer to as Gaelic is almost always called Irish.

[patriautism]

@EsotericSilverside

Irish IS a language.

The term Gaelic refers to the original languages spoken by the Celtic people.

they are so named

The Irish language,The Manx language, and Scottish Gaelic.

[rufus566]

@EsotericSilverside

Irish is one of the three Goidelic languages of the British isles. It is the parent language of Scottish Gaelic and the Manx language. Irish in itself is Gaelic but is usually only referred to as such when compared to the other two languages. Scottish gaelic is so called because it has many Germanic non Gaelic sources in it. Irish and manx are pure gaelic so can just be called Irish and manx without the gaelic moniker. Hope that helped.

[EsotericSilverside]

@rufus566 I stand corrected! Thank you

[bookkeeper57]

Moya and brother Ciaran (bass fiddle) 25 and 23 years old; respectively, here.

[StevenTheVirgin38]

moya brennan is my mum and she loves me

[TheLibraRat]

196 people like this (which they know where real music comes from).

3 assholes didn't like this (which they obviously don't know about cultural music).

[coexno1980]

Harr esher ireh yu dalah soun xazxatishyu, shu lan mott mox I'mer bertey gergerlu laylosh shu weinax xil tam bolsh waj euskeralsh. hoknex katterg soun yux post yea?

[locomotive1804]

This is one of my favourite Clannad tracks - A Chara!

[bookkeeper57]

Left to right: Ciaran, Pol and Maire Brennan; Padraig and Noel Duggan.

[Philoaussie08]

I love to listen to Clannad then and now, such great talent......regards

[Philoaussie08]

Fantastic Group, Fantastic music...great toe taping.....

[bookkeeper57]

Maire 25 years old here, her brothers Ciaran (bass fiddle) and Pol (flute) younger, about 23 and 20, respectively.

Enya was 19, about one year from joining the family musical act.

[melodiousmajesty]

@bookkeeper57 Máire was born in 1952; Eithne in 1961, nearly ten years later. So Máire was about 25 here, but Eithne was only 16.

[IsCumaFut2]

biggest mistake clannad ever made letting enya join the band moira brennan 100 times better. they were better off without enya complete crap in my opinion...

[clabcho]

Unbeliavable. I have allways loved this style of music. It is just great...

[highkingofireland200]

Vintage Clannad. Not the New Age stuff they got into in later years.

[sun21760flower]

..awesome!

SUN :)

[constantlygardening]

himself looks ar meisce! fisean iontach.

[LeslieWolf71]

Treasure! Clannad is forever living!

[smaointewildchild]

Her eyebrow at 2:06 xD Great song.

[Dreoilin]

this was awesome!

[zinpressinn0815]

diese musik ist weltumfassent ich liebe es gruss aus tuiskland

[catherineb2]

The woman in the song is called Mary and her brothers are saying to her " come home Mary and stay home because your bargain has been agreed ie the marriage is arranged. Mary says I will not come home and my bargain has not been made. They say Marry the piper Mary Marry him at night and you will still have him in the morning. Mary is not impressed and still says my bargain is not made.

[DougWoodMusic]

Classic Clannad - As a radio station program director I came across their music in the mid-80's - some of my favorite tunes from their albums. I could listen to them and the Battlefield Band all day.

[Shalamanoff]

Can someone translate this song in English pls ??

[tdogatl]

well its "Jed I wanna be, Jed I wanna be, Jed I wanna be ready" isnt it :-)

So basically its a Beverly Hillbillies riff

[bookkeeper57]

Exactly what it sounds like :). Gaelic and French have to be the most un-phonetic languages there are.

[caoimhindebarra]

@bookkeeper57

I dont know if Irish, or Gaelic, is so un-phonetic. It may use different combinations of letters to make sounds that appear weird to English speakers, but that alone doesnt make it unphonetic.

The measure of what is phonetic is the consistency of letters, or combinations of letters, in representing the same sound again and again.

Irish is probably no less phonetic than English. Words like "once" and "knight" are just some examples of English words that are not spelt as they sound

[blackadder3]

@bookkeeper57 I am half Irish and half French and I have to agree!

[HarvsPenzance]

mea na vidna kowse sousenek

[BADBOYCH]

@Shalamanoff Google it or get a Irish/English Dictionary. I mysel am trying to learn Irish. It's a beautiful language and fun to learn. Give it a shot.

[xl3utterflyx]

@Shalamanoff Go home with you Go Home with you Go home with you Mary Go home with you and stay at home Because your match it mad It doesn't matter who made it or who didn't It doesn't matter who made it Mary It doesn't matter who made it or who didn't Because your match is made Marry the piper Marry the piper Marry the piper, Mary Marry the piper early at night And you'll have him in the morning My match isn't Your match is My match isn't made Your match is My match isn't Your match is made

[irishfella1987]

iontach ar fad! \CLannad abú!!

[michelezarbo]

awful irish music

[ciarangrahan12]

@michelezarbo  prick

[BoudiccaBlanc]

Wonderful song!  Great performance :-)

[clamchenko]

[hughsterlingyaa]

[michelezarbo]

[mickeyzat]

love there old stuff, could listen all night.

hope they come to the celtic connections.

[Truth3312]

This Clannad clip is on the DVD, 'Come West Along The Road.'

[Seamus616]

the donegal accent goes so well with this song. love their the prounciation of "deanta"! Na Gaeil Abú!

[lughlamhfhada]

Well, that's how you're supposed to pronounce it. Remember, caol le caol agus leathan le leathan!

[cinnireseisri]

The slender "d" in Donegal isn't pronounced the same as say, Cois Fharraige. I'm sure that's what Séamus was saying.

[krassiwe]

honors to Clannad!

[charlieealincolniv]

Go maith

[bookkeeper57]

Ciaran Brennan on bass fiddle, Pol Brennan on flute, Maire Brennan, and Neil and Patrick Duggan (relatives on their mother's side of the family) on mandolin and accoustic guitar.

[CelticDivision]

yeah... celtic music rulez... it's spiritual, and it's also the perfect party music for metallers!! yeah!!

[Supplicum666]

@CelticDivision you are right dude

[97EricPower]

@CelticDivision oh yes it's spiritual !!

[bookkeeper57]

Moya pretty young here, about 21 years old. Enya still in school, 15-16 years old.

They definitely look like Enya's family.

[auspete]

Maire looks amazingly like Jennifer Saunders in this clip! Thanks for uploading - never thought I would see any moving images of Clannad of this vintage. And just my 2c worth - I have all their CDs and Clannad recordings of ANY decade are wonderful.

[vladtraian]

brill.fucking brill.the text in english is nothing but in irish sound's gorgeus.brill

[joshua2814]

I love to say Níl mo mhardadh déanta.

[SchwarzeWitwe2]

What's it mean?

[mongorich]

It means something like, "Pick up a loaf of bread on your way home."

[ruskinruss]

it does not mean that..It means can you go to tescos and buy me a pint of semi skimmed milk...Only kidding, I love this band. Absolutely great musicians. Very warm..

[mongorich]

Yes, I was also only kidding and I love them too. Please, don't everybody hate on me.

[bookkeeper57]

Or you can go to the corner grocery store and bring home a loaf of bread. Also a Clannad fan.

[Reajeasa]

The whole song? It's basically telling this woman (Mary) that 'her market's made' i.e. they've found her a Man. As such, she should go home.

[Reajeasa]

'My market isn't made'

As someone's said, the songs about a woman called Mary being told that her 'market's made' and they've found her a man, so she should go home and stay home. The Tá do mharagadh/Níl mo mharagadh chorus is the argument of No it's not!/Yes it is!

[ANTRAXXX1862]

so how i think u r right lad, even when i don't understand this irish language (maybe Gaelic).

greetings from Warrenton Virginia U.S.A.

[FenderStratFingers]

Does anyone know the chords for this song or have a tab it would be great help. Thanks

[ANTRAXXX1862]

can somebody gimme the names of the members of the band

[iacoposimonelli]

The first on the left, (the singer) is Ciaran Brennan, the second is Pol Brennan, then Maire Brennan. The last two are Padraig Duggan and Noel Duggan.

[ANTRAXXX1862]

Thank you very much!:)

[TheWhistleCollector]

Wow, I didn't know they were this old. They were way better then, than they are now.

[cjshamrock]

I think they were at their best here. Amazing group.

[marklindsayfan1]

lovely

[katecommon]

Clannad would have been better if they had a better male singer & song writer like Bob Dylan or Van Morrison or a Neil Young someone 2 = moya not like the backing male singers she had.

[hellocretins]

love his voice, its gentle and beautiful.he shouldve sung much more i like his voice the better.has anyone got 'dhenian sugradh' video is there one??love that song

[gearoiddom]

Sin amhránaíocht daoibh!

Now, that's singing boys.

[mongorich]

[EireGoon]

Yeah my fave Clannad song!!

[bookkeeper57]

Clannad are part of the Brennan family, County Donegal and Enya's family. Besides big sister Maire, who are the other family members here?

[Sportymike]

Enya and Máire's brothers, Ciarán and Pól Brennan on HER right, Ciarán is one base. Then on HER left, is their two twin uncles, Pádraig and Noel Duggan.

[phleota]

Eithne (Enya) wasn't in Clannad. These are her older brothers and sisters

[Sportymike]

phleota get ur facts rite, Enya was in Clannad for 2 years from 1979-1981.

[N8VLoV3]

[Truth3312]

This video along with other Irish artists can be found on the DVD, 'Come West Along the Road - Irish Traditional Music.'

[GOOBERHEAD84]

Driving waves of "WOW!", pounding again and again, twirling me in exhilarating circles. Thanks TG4gaeilge for a feeling I wished I knew how to express.

[eircom2222]

I guess this means I'll have to take up the tin whistle again!! :-)

[saturne46]

Bravo et merci pour ce chant merveilleux !

[SkyloomLB]

What a treat to see these old Clannad songs performed before they went all pop!

[Thx1138d]

I liked Clannad before they went "New Age" also.

[Kevomcgannor]

Beautiful

[tceh72]

¡Extraordinario! Es una pieza realmente hermosa.

[blurfist]

wow!

[DraceAmar]

Yeah allright! I love playing along with this on any instrument.

there's people smoking in the audience too, those were the days.

[khanno01]

One of my favourite music videos. I can not understand why clannad don't put out a music video I'd race to the store in a snap.

I love this.

[TAKENnameARGH]

AWSUM! truly so
