Tír na NÓg

Tír na nÓg (translated as ‘land of eternal youth’) are considered one of the first progressive folk bands with other artists like Nick Drake or groups like Pentangle. Whether categorised as alt folk, prog folk, psych folk, or even space folk, what is not in doubt is that they are two of the most original and influential songwriters and performers Ireland has ever produced. Tír na nÓg are a union of equals. Their guitars wind and mesh gorgeously together, their voices likewise; nor can they be separated for the quality of their songwriting. Songs like Condell’s ‘Our Love Will Not Decay’, ‘Eyelids Into Snow’ and ‘Two White Horses’, and O’Kelly’s ‘Piccadilly’, ‘So Freely’ and ‘Looking Up’ are as good as anything Ireland’s produced in the past four decades.

‘Otherworldly and indubitably wise.’ (Uncut)

‘Tir na nOg blew me away – that mix of Irishness, folk and Led Zeppelin.’ (Mojo Magazine)

‘Sonny Condell and Leo O’Kelly continue to defy real time.’ (Irish Times)
