New Clannad album on the way

Clannad are applying the finishing touches to their first studio album since 1998’s Landmarks.

Reuniting all five original members – they’ve not been in the studio together since 1989’s Sirius – it’ll hit the racks in late September and get an airing on July 28 when the band appear alongside the likes of James Vincent McMorrow, John Prine, Nanci Griffith, Roy Harper, The Proclaimers, Joan Armatrading, Loreena McKennitt, Billy Bragg, The Unthanks and Gretchen Peters at the celebrated Cambridge Folk Festival.
