The duo formed by Leo O'Kelly & Sonny Condell in Dublin, Ireland in early 1970, caused somewhat of a sensation, both on the folk and rock scenes, almost as soon as they stepped off the boat train from Ireland. Within two weeks they had signed a deal with Chrysalis Records and, by the summer, they had established themselves in the London clubs, with their impromptu appearances and beautiful original songs, typically featuring intricate acoustic guitar playing and close harmony singing.
They immediately started touring Britain and Europe with Jethro Tull and Procol Harum before releasing their first album for Chrysalis, entitled simply, Tír na nÓg. The album was Melody Maker album of the month. They gathered followers of every musical persuasion from their appearances with bands as disparate as Hawkwind, The Who, Fairport Convention and Roxy Music, while at the same time headlining their own college and club gigs.
Their music, which is often described as progressive folk, was championed by John Peel, resulting in many Peel sessions in the early 70s. Two further studio albums, ‘A Tear and a Smile’ and ‘Strong in the Sun’ followed on through to 1974, after which they returned to Ireland to go their separate ways.
In 1985 they got back together again, whilst still pursuing their individual musical careers. Some UK appearances occurred up to 1995 but it wasn’t until 2010 that they revisited these shores, launching a series of highly successful, intensive short tours. The audiences throughout 2010 and 2011 were thrilled to see them back. Tír na nÓg are now on the road again for 2012 performances.
A new album, 'Live At Sirius', which features many of their timeless songs from the three Chrysalis albums, including their version of Nick Drake's "Free Ride", is now available.
"Tir na nOg blew me away - that mix of Irishness, folk and Led Zeppelin" (David Kitt - Mojo Magazine)
"Sonny Condell & Leo O'Kelly continue to defy real time!" (Kevin Courtney - Irish Times)
"Startlingly original lines in songwriting and arrangements" (Siobhan Long - Irish Times)

on So Freely
You gave your love so freely, made me wonder was it real
But then I was just the same with mine and I know the way I feel
Know the way I feel, you know?
When strangers meet like we did it can leave you feeling sad
But that's not the way it left us, no, love is not like that
Love is not like that, you know?
And I could live so long on your memory alone
Yes, I could live so long on your memory alone
You write and say you miss me, well, you know, I miss you, too
But it may be such a long time before I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you, my love
Tell me you believe ¡n me and I'll believe in you
Oh, I see that's all wrong but you can show me what to do
Teach me how to love you
And I could live so long on your memory alone
Yes, I could live so long on your memory alone
