TIR NA NOG
SONNY CONDELL, LEO O'KELLY
with BARRY DRANSFIELD and ANNIE CROZIER
This Dublin band were at the forefront of the revival in Irish folk music in the early seventies.
Although their music didn't really have that strong an Irish flavour,
it was very much in the mould of gentle folky progressive rock
that was so popular among underground audiences

Tir Na Nog, whose name translates from the Gaelic as "Land of Eternal Youth," hit a Zeitgeist with their first album.
The pairing of Sonny Condell and Leo O'Kelly caught the same softness as, say, Nick Drake,
but more open and engaging, with just enough lilting Celtic influence to offer plenty of charm
(although, it must be said, very little of the Irish tradition is evident in their music).
The acoustic duo could be sweetly romantic, as on "Time Is Like a Promise" and "Our Love Will Not Decay,"
but they could also offer a crowd-pleaser like the singalong "Aberdeen Angus."
"Picadilly" is especially poignant, a touching tale. Condell brings a few exotic touches to the disc,
adding tabla, Moroccan drum, and jew's harp, but that hardly turns them into a version
of the Incredible String Band -- their writing simply isn't quirky enough...(AllMusic)price rating
