Tír na nÓg - Dublin band were at the forefront of the revival in Irish folk music in the early seventies. Although their music didn't really have that strong an Irish flavour, it was very much in the mould of gentle folky progressive rock that was so popular among underground audiences. Their final album included a version of Nick Drake's Free Ride. They can also be heard playing Our Love Will Not Decay on Island's 1971 El Pea compilation. They reformed in 1991 with a short-lived five man line-up.

I think You gonna also like the very first Tir na Nog,also called "The white album" album from 1971 with some songs gonna blew your mind("Time Is Like A promise" and "Looking Up").But i think this one also presents magic,intelligent, poetic and sometimes funny lyrics, well-crafted songs beautifully performed. Atmospheric and 'sensitive', as folky stuff goes, they did incredible job. Second album "A Tear And Smile" with some good moments is also a keeper and nice part of "Troyka" collection. I have somewhere 5-6 photos from Strong In The Sun photo shoot. Interesting story involving famous Beetle, Paul McCartney, says,during recording of his "band On The Run" album,Strong in The Sun was his fav album to listen.... Peace.
