I Am Irish

Here is a video of the Irish family folk group, Clannad, featured in a 1982 concert on BBC titled "As I Roved Out". If you like Enya (Brennan), she is in the video with her fairness, short and dark hair, beauty, innocence, and all! :) I am not Irish by nationality, unfortunately, as I am American. However, I am over-half Irish by blood, accompanied by about 1/4 of German blood, and a little bit of French, as well. :) My first favorite part of the video is when it is during the slow song at 21:58 when Enya's beautiful sister, Moya gracefully plays the harp while the screen shows picturesque images of Ireland's countryside. Then right after this slow song, I love it how the crowd applauds as the whole band picks things up by singing a lively, moderately-paced song that, in my opinion, seems to get right at the core of Celtic folk at 24:43, and the band trades off occasional solos, including a duet with Enya and Moya! My last (but definitely not least!) favorite part is Enya's solo with Clannad (before she goes on to take on her solo career with Nicky and Roma Ryan), at about 27:00, which is titled "An Tull",
or, "The Apple" from the Irish; so please make sure to stay until the end credits! Please enjoy, everyone, and love, peace and prayers to all fellow Irish, as well as Celts!
