In 1990, Volkswagen used Clannad's song "Theme From Harry's Game" in their American television advertising campaign. After local dealers were inundated with calls not about the cars, but about the music from the commercial, the company had to add a text overlay to the advertisements stating 'You are listening to Clannad'.
This musical family band derived their unique sound from the sounds that surrounded them in the remote northwest coast of Ireland where they grew up. Their young sister Enya Brennan was part of the band, playing keyboards on two of their albums before she went onto have her own highly successful solo career, releasing albums simply as 'Enya'.
Clannad's 2012 US tour marks the band's first in more than 15 years.
