Clann Mhic Ruair\u00ed\u00a0are\u00a0an Irish folk\/trad band. They are a\u00a0family group, made up of siblings Tony (singer), Aodh (singer\/guitar), Sean (singer), D\u00f3nall (singer\/percussion) and Tony\u2019s daughter Megan (piano and singer). As a family they were raised on the Gaelic songs and stories of the \u2018Rann na Feirste Gaeltacht\u2019 in County Donegal, (Gaelic speaking area) in the North West corner of Ireland. Hearing their music gives the listener an insight into this rich culture which they continue to preserve. This corner of Ireland is the birth place of internationally acclaimed artists who have moulded the Irish traditional music scene since the 1970s.\u00a0Clannad,\u00a0Skara Brae, Altan,\u00a0Manus and\u00a0D\u00f3nall Lunny, to name but a few, have all blossomed in this area and\u00a0Clann Mhic Ruair\u00ed have now taken up the torch in the hope of conserving and promoting this rich musical culture which lies at the core of their being. The members of\u00a0Clann Mhic Ruair\u00ed are individual artists in their own right, each member having performed over the years on solo projects and with other artists and groups. In 2013 they decide to formally come together as\u00a0Clann Mhic Ruair\u00ed\u00a0and the preservation of the song tradition of \u2018Rann na Feirste\u2019 is foremost in their mind. Much of their repertoire are songs which were composed and sung in their locality for hundreds of years. They perform these traditional songs with a contemporary, innovative and inspirational approach, retaining the traditional purity and integrity of the song<\/p>\n
