Is Clannad Related to Enya? What does Clannad Mean in Irish?

Clannad was formed in 1970 in Gweedor, County Donegal by siblings Ciaran, Pol and Moya Brenna and their uncles Noel and Padraig.

Clannad’s international breakthrough came when the band was asked to record the theme for the ITV mini-series Harry’s Game, set during the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

The group successfully bridged traditional Celtic music pop and became the first band to sin in Irish on Top of the Pops in 1982.

In 1970, several members of Enya’s family formed Clannad, a Celtic folk band that later acquired Nicky Ryan as their manager, sound engineer and producer, and his future wife, Roma Ryan and tour manager and administrator.
