Formed in Dublin in 1969, Tír na nÓg featuring Leo O’Kelly and Sonny Condell are often considered one of the first progressive folk bands with other artist like Nick Drake and Pentangle. Their music is made up of their own compositions based on strong Celitc roots and features intricate acoustic guitar playing and close harmony singing. From 1971 to 1973 Tír na nÓg made three critically acclaimed studio albums and toured internationally.

The band broke up in 1974 and pursued solo careers in Ireland. Condell recorded his own material and went on to form Scullion, O’Kelly pursued a career as a producer and has also released solo projects. The duo reformed in 1985 and have toured around since then. This is a great opportunity to see two masterful musicians together again and be a part of this important live recording.
