Moya Brennan is a lovely woman. I am so glad she is still performing.

I went to see Clannad for 50p in my school gym when they were still performing in Irish.one of the best Ireland has ever produced.

Beautiful song, mostly best performed by Clannad.

I was searching for this video since maybe KZbin, even Internet video started. Istanbul, summer time, around midnight, spending time with my computer, no internet back then, maybe fiddling with DOS games, my 14 inch TV with this show on. Suddenly I heard this song start and got struck with Moya's voice. I left everything, praying Jools would announce the band at the the end of the song. Yes, he said "Ladies and gentlemen, Clannad." But no song name. Song not English. How could I listen to this song again? Visited a lot of music stores in the city. No luck. There were some Clannad albums, listened to samples, no, none of them. The song kept ringing in my head. Internet spreads, checking every now and then, but nothing of the song, Some years pass.. Found Jools Holland shows and guests buried in a pdf file in BBC site (thank you BBC internet content creators). Yes the name of the song resembles the words I don't understand. Nil se'n la. That's it! Listened, yeah it was a relief but not the performance in the show. Some more years pass. Keep checking. What! "Clannad "Nil Se'n La" live Jools Holland, 9th July 1993". This must be it! Listened, watched. Can't believe. I'm back again in that room as it was 25 years ago. An unfinished business... Now I can rest :) Thank you.

Bekir KATRANCI I like your story. Hauntingly beautiful music affects the conscienceness that way..

[@adenjordan3659]

You all probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!

[@adenjordan3659]

@Caspian Xander thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@adenjordan3659]

@Caspian Xander It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much, you really help me out !

No Pól again - Clannad and this song in particular need him badly. Yes I'm a Pól fan .

[@pianoman631]

LOL I'm inclined to agree - great harmonies but speed it up a bit

[@BarryHawk]

Yes, it's not nearly as good without Po'l

[@ARMYUB]

😎✌💓

[@fallenembers2518]

I can hear a hint of Enya's voice in Bridins vocal.

[@leandrogasperi3669]

Is there Bridin? It seems to me that one of the ladies is Olive, another sister.

[@Catubrannos]

Much better than the Celtic Women version.

[@fallenembers2518]

I agree!

[@jamiestewart139]

Enya

[@tcoudi]

love it. but it is drinking song, yes? why it has mood like meeting of AA?

[@Mostrichkugel]

Why can't you write proper English? How do you do know about AA meetings?

[@CLASSICALJAJ]

You sit in Leo’s Tavern on the average night and you’ll realise the gorgeous reason why this is called “The Drinking Song “. . . Gorgeous family bonded by blood and love . . . or as Maire would say, “La Gore” !
