what a family the Brennans ... O' Braonans !

I'm not Irish but I love and I hope fully understand Clannad's music.

Che dire a proposito dei Clannad ? La voce di Moya sembra venire direttamente dal cielo e le musiche del gruppo , così suggestive , riportano in quel cielo gli ascoltatori , che si arrampicano su quelle note per raggiungere i sogni più alti , fuori da questo mondo. Miracolo musicale familiare, questi Clannad.!!

I have seen many many bands in my lifetime but seeing Clannad in 89 is in my top 5, they were amazing & filled my Irish heart with joy

Most programs back then required that bands do playback, or at least instrumental playback. Its not Clannad's fault, that was the way it was done.

I think this is their most commercial sounding song, it could have been a much bigger hit. I think Macalla was when they perfected the mix of traditional and pop/rock music.

excenlent viedio one of the best songs of the eightes

Two awesome songs--especially the second one, Almost Seems Too Late. Beautiful video--thank you so much for all the work you do to share material like this with all of us!!

Love

Always thought this song sounded similar to 'if you love somebody set them free' by Sting. Funnily enough they're both from 1985 too!

'Enya' is a lesson to any reasonable singer, or any musician, to be brave and get it on record or film, work to progress and refine your art. From a humble shy looking 'choirgirl' in a family group that moved towards more commercial productions of still traditional Gaelic style, to lush universally appealing music selling multi millions of albums!

Very Gary Moore vibe to the solo .. Just a beautiful composition ( as usual )

On top of this amazing performance, the sky and trees outside the windows look lush.

A bit strange to see the Duggan brothers playing electric guitars.

Like Jefferson Starship

Love the band - hate miming to the tracks for which i blame auntie - the bbc - live is best period.

Moonlight

"When someone just stands you". Why does it not sound like "When someone astounds you" like it is supposed to? Or is she saying "When someones astounds you"? Is this an Irish way of saying it

As rufus566 said, it was very common to mime back then. Playing live was quite tricky on live tv. Too many things to go wrong. Although I think the producers could have made an effort and at least had leads plugged into the guitars. As a musician myself it used to wind me up big time. But it was not the bands fault, they just had to roll with it.

@@ShadowCamera definitely not denying that! This was the first Clannad song I ever heard. I walked into a bookstore and they were playing Past Perfect. I loved the song and bought the tape, and the rest is history. I got to see them in concert in 2012, when the were here in the US. They were marvelous!

Cringy...so dated......
