7 | Clannad are an Irish family musical group consisting of three siblings and two of their uncles. Generally considered to be a FolkMusic band, they also have considerable elements of NewAge, especially in their later albums, and have occasionally dabbled in rock music. |

9 | They most well known for performing the theme song to the television series ''Harry's Game'' and all the music for the later television series ''Series/RobinOfSherwood''. Another sibling, Music/{{Enya}}, was briefly also a member of the band before going solo and they have also recorded with Bono of Music/{{U2}}. The band predates the visual novel ''Visualnovel/{{Clannad}}'' by over twenty years, having formed in 1970; they have released sixteen full studio albums during their career. |

43 | !!Clannad provides examples of the following tropes: |
44 | * BandOfRelatives: Type 2 - three siblings (plus one other briefly) and their two (now one after Pádraig Duggan's passing) uncles. |
45 | * BreakupBreakout: Semi-subverted - Music/{{Enya}}'s career is arguably more successful with a higher international profile but Clannad have done pretty well without her too. |
46 | * {{CrossOver}}: They sang a duet with Music/{{U2}} during the track "In A Lifetime" from ''Music/TheJoshuaTree''. |
47 | * LongRunnerLineUp: Aside from Music/{{Enya}}'s brief tenure with the band, they kept the same five person lineup from 1970 to 1990, then continued as a four piece when Pól Brennan left the band until 2011 when he returned and they became a five piece again, until 2016 when Pádraig Duggan passed away and they became a four piece again. |
48 | * MaleBandFemaleSinger: Moya sings lead vocals on all songs while the guys play and sing backing vocals. |
49 | * SignatureSong: The "Theme from Harry's Game", which appeared in Film/PatriotGames. |
