About this album

Dúlamán is the album where Clannad’s modern Irish folk identity came sharply into focus. Released in 1976, it builds on traditional material with lilting arrangements, close harmonies and a spare, acoustic intensity that set the band apart from more conventional folk revival acts. The title song became one of their best-known pieces, while interpretations such as “Two Sisters” and “Siúil A Rún” show their gift for making older songs feel immediate and vital. As an early release in a long and influential career, Dúlamán helped establish Clannad as important interpreters of Celtic music.
