Tir na nOg ‘Live at the Half Moon’

.

Mega Dodo is proud to announce the release of a brand new live album by Tir na nOg. Last year this legendary progressive Irish duo released their first new studio album in 42 years, The Dark Dance, which was launched at the equally legendary music venue, the Half Moon, Putney. Mega Dodo was there to capture their performance which mixed Tir na nOg classics with songs from their new album.

.

Tir na nOg have been described as Alt Folk, Prog Folk, Psych Folk, and even Space Folk! But the duo, formed by Leo O’Kelly & Sonny Condell in 1970, transcends all these categories. What is not in doubt is that they are two of the most original and influential songwriters and performers Ireland has ever produced. Songs like Condell’s ‘Two White Horses’, and O’Kelly’s ‘Looking Up’, both of which are featured on Live At The Half Moon, are as good as anything Ireland’s produced in the past four decades.

.

Tir na nOg ended 2015 on a high when Classic Rock Magazine voted The Dark Dance number 3 in its best albums of 2015. 2016 looks to be just exciting and busy. Besides gigging all over Ireland, Tir na nOg have two British tours lined up (June and September) and a brilliant new live album that captures the spirit and vitality of their stunning live performances.

.

Tir na nOg Live At The Half Moon will be available as a limited edition LP (250 copies pressed on green vinyl available exclusively from www.mega-dodo.co.uk and 250 copies 180 gram black vinyl), CD and download.
