Description
Influential Irish prog‐folk duo Tir Na nÓg (comprising songwriters Leo O’Kelly and Sonny Condell) produced three classic alt‐folk‐fringed albums at the start of the 1970s, then split. ‘Transmissions’, recorded at the height of their powers, comprises recordings made for radio broadcasts. Side one features six songs recorded in the studio and includes their unique reading of Bob Dylan’s ‘Maggie’s Farm’. Side two was recorded in concert and shows why Tir na nOg was such an in‐demand live attraction. ‘Transmissions’ is confirmation that Tir na nOg was responsible for making stylish, powerful, and category‐defying electroacoustic music. LP is a limited pressing of 250 copies.
