Clannad - Legend (LP)

"Legend" by Clannad, the BAFTA award winning and iconic eighth studio album release from 1984, serving as the soundtrack for the cult British TV series "Robin of Sherwood."

The album vividly captures the mystical and atmospheric essence of the show, blending traditional Irish folk with contemporary sounds. Renowned for their ethereal and haunting musical style, Clannad utilise a mix of acoustic instruments, lush harmonies, and synthesizers to create a rich, otherworldly ambiance. The band members—Ciarán Brennan, Máire (Moya) Brennan, Pól Brennan, and siblings Noel and Pádraig Duggan—craft a soundscape that transports listeners to the legendary world of Robin Hood. Key tracks like ""Robin (The Hooded Man)"" and ""Together We"" showcase Clannad's ability to weave narrative and melody seamlessly, reflecting the adventure and romance of the Robin Hood legend. The use of Máire Brennan's ethereal vocals adds an enchanting layer to the music, enhancing the album's mystical quality.
