Clannad (Ireland)
A festival highlight

The Grammy award winning band, Clannad from Ireland, comprises of siblings Moya, Ciaran and Pól Brennan, along with uncles Noel and Padraig Duggan. Clannad have made music that entwines the traditional and the modern, the past and the present with stunningly beautiful results. With their haunting songs, mesmerizing vocal harmonies, and captivating sound, the group has sold over 15 million records worldwide. Their music has been described as bordering on folk and folk rock, traditional Irish, Celtic and new-age, often incorporating ele- ments of an even broader spectrum of smooth jazz and Gregorian chant. The band came to prominence in late 1982 for their hit song “Theme from Harry’s Game” and later won a Grammy for their album Landmarks in 1999. The festival is proud to have them play in Drammen before they begin their world tour in February 2016!
