I am a big fan of Clannad's music aswell. I love the traditional songs that they have done but also enjoy alot of their newer stuff...In a Lifetime, Seanchas, I will find you, Newgrange....
I don't really have a favourite Clannad album but I think that Lore is the best one they have done in a long time. I loved their duet with Paul Young 'Both Sides Now', and their Christmas song 'Christmas Angels'.

I have a few of their cds as well, among them Fuiam, Magical Ring, and Macalla.... I managed my copy of Fuiam through a trade with a fellow music collector, and, it's signed by both Enya and Moya.... I'd like to add Two Sisters to the favourite songs list...as well as An Tull, and Robin (The Hooded Man).

Is there an update on the rumored Clannad cd that was mentioned in around Christmas 2007? My impression is that they hoped to work on one this year, possibly for release in the summer.
It's been a long time since Landmarks.

Does anyone know what Clannad is up to these days?

I had thought from something Moya mentioned to me when I saw her at the Celtic Christmas show last year that Clannad was going into the studio and would have an album out this year. It doesn't look like they've been able to do that.
Have they toured anywhere since their UK tours this Spring?

I seem to remember them playing a few concerts this year (DraΓocht: did they play the Mount Errigal in July 08?)...regarding their new album, I'm sure they're working on something but maybe touring has interfered with the schedule for its release.

It will be great to hear something new from them. I hope the album will be released soon.

I'll be glad to hear something new, too. I was excited to get the Live in Concert cd a few years ago, and that was from their Lore or Landmarks tour in the late 90's! LOL! I hope they do plan to record again, but I wonder if a lot has to be scheduled around Moya's very successful recording and touring schedule? I don't think Moya stays still very much!

Sky, no Clannad haven't played any concerts in Donegal since 2005. As part of the 40th celebrations of Leo's tavern, MΓ‘ire said on radio that Clannad would be playing a concert. She didn't say where. She was on RaidiΓ³ na Gaeltachta and they were in Dubai doing a gig that night. I think they toured alot at the beginning of the summer.
I havent heard anything about a new album. There is a festival this weekend in Dobhair, maybe they'll show up for a song! I think Enya might show up to and sing a song or two with them for the first festival Dobhair has had in over 20 years. (I think i see some pigs in the sky)

You think you could attach some feathers to some Donegal pigs and up the chances that Enya might show up and sing a song? ;D
I had heard Clannad were going to do a concert in Dubai, but I haven't heard any follow-up on how the concert went. Perhaps all the touring is in preparation to do an album later in the year or next year?
I wonder when Maire plans to go back into the studio?

I heard a Clannad song playing at the mall today. (Can't remember what it is called, i have it on my computer, but i get confused between the gaelic songs) It was a little unusaul, but nice.

There was an occasion when I needed to kill some time while my car was serviced, so I wrote out some Christmas cards in this cafe where they had a lot of Enya on a loop ..... there were no other artists, just Enya I know Moya is taking a big part in an upcoming 'Spirit of Voice' festival in Galway in early November, but I don't know about any future plans for Clannad to do a tour. They performed here in Nottingham earlier in the year, and of course they had to do some of the Robin Hood stuff! And yes, I agree that they're well overdue for another album .... not just a compilation, please! We can make our own compilations!

I'd love to see the show in Galway. I've heard Moya's doing some great concerts in the last year. As for Clannad, I wonder if they'll ever get another album out. The fact that Moya is spending so much time touring and promoting her albums indicates to me that Clannad may not be spending much time together working on new material.

I've wondered about Moya's role in Clannad as well. Her solo career seems to be taking priority over Clannad - and I cannot imagine Clannad without Moya's voice.

I don't think Clannad can exist without Moya. I wonder if the boys can organize themselves to get music together for an album? Moya can't neglect her career if the guys aren't committed to doing an album. Since she's touring Europe this Fall, I have the feeling that nothing is moving forward on the Clannad front. But, who knows?
Were there ever any reports about the Dubai concert? That's a little area getting a lot of press these days. A lot of money there, but what kind of crowd would Clannad draw in Dubai?
