DEFINATELY Maybe one of Clannad's best ever!!!!I'm of Irish Blood(but 'me no speak 'de lingo'!!!)WOULD BE AWESOME IF SOME-ONE COULD translate it into Angle-ish!!!!!PLEASE!!!XXXXcreashonrebel@yahoo.com
Shame realy but I dn't think Clannad 2 was surpassed ever dispite all the various "Irish" albums since thanks for the memory was it really 1976, who does know where the time gos
I have this album it was the 2nd Clannad album I bought After seeing them Live at the 1st Leeds Irish Folk Festival at Temple Newsome park in 1981, I remember chatting to Maire Brennan in the Beer tent whilst listening to a Jam session taking place, It was an Awesome festival with All the Big Names of Irish Music playing Moving Hearts Dedannan, Mary Black, Furey's & Clannad, Also an Irish Dance Group called Clann-Na Gaelfrom Newcastle, Does anyone know what happened to them?
I always thought that Argyle and the western isles and Ireland were settled by the Gaels around the same time... they lived in co-existance with the pictish people who were there before. there's no real proof that the Scotti invaded Scotland but that they were always there....it was because of pictish marriage customs that pictish names were replaced with Scottish ones...hence it seemed like an invasion....who knows really I wasn't there at the time :)....
Ah I nearly thought it was Scottish Gaelic at first due to the spelling of words but it is actually older Irish that which came before the spelling reformation and the introduction of the Official Standard. What used to be "Foghmhair" is now "Fómhair" for autumn.
Well actually Scottish Gaelic came from Irish Gaelic cos of the invasion of Scotland by the Gaels. I do like Scottish Gaelic but I prefer Irish cos I'm Irish and I think it's much softer sounding.
yes the Gaelic invasion of Scotland. The people before them were mainly the Cumbrians who were related to the original Britonic people which included the Welsh and the Cornish. The Invasion was similar to the Viking invasions in that the invaders eventually integrated and become one with the rest of the people. It happened centuries before the Norman conquests.
True that ENYAH's sister was their 'lead singer'???
