In 1976 Clannad produced Dúlamán, "which probably was the high point of their albums of solely traditional material".
The Latest in our classic re-releases feature the world wide favoutites Clannad with their third album, released in 1976 and still sounding great.

Press Reviews
This early Clannad album, represents the band in the days before they essentially went pop after signing to RCA in the early '80s Dulaman songs. The music retains the authentic feel of Irish folk, and is performed with authenticity and passion. Dulaman CD music contains a single disc with 10 songs.The title track (which means seaweed) is a choral piece revolving around a conversation between a young suitor and a stubborn father; other songs, such as "Eirigh Suas A Stoirin" and "Eirigh Is Cuir Ort Do Chuid Eadaigh" are traditional love songs from Donegal, the latter the story of a young woman who longs to elope with her lover and be surrounded by nature.
Every song on DULAMAN tells a wonderful story; those listeners who don't speak Irish may simply sit back and enjoy the beautiful melodies, and make up their own tales as this lovely music unfolds.
