🧡💖❗
Love both songs!!!!!!
"The Wild Cry" seems a bit rushed, but no complaints!
Thank you for posting this wonderful rare Clannad clip!

I have been looking for RUclips footage of this fantastic live studio performance for years as I remember it from when it was first transmitted in the mid 80s. Great solos from Noel O’ Dugain on guitar, Mel Collins on sax and solid musical drumming from Paul Moran. R.I.P Padraig O’ Dugain.
