Third and the last chapter of my tribute to Moya Brennan.

These videos and recordings will be her last few studio albums, live concerts recording in the mid and late 70's and her last harp music recorded in 2024.

I have missed a few vinyl in between and some only in CD's as they were only available in CD format at the time.

May she rest in peace somewhere magical and peaceful because her music has always with these spirits.

"Magical Ring" was Clannad's 7th (or 6th Studio) album and I would say that was their turning point.

In terms of music it's not purely Irish folk music but very diversified and I guess it was time to get "commercialised".

It contains the band's biggest hit single, "Theme from Harry's Game", a theme song for a BBC programme.

The rest of the album also see "Pop" element.

It's not fair to highlight the presence of Enya in Clannad since she was "nobody" at that time. She didn't even get credit with her first appearance.

However, as she became the might "Celtic Queen" in later years it's hard not to bring her into the picture.

This is "Fuaim" their fifth studio recording and as their previous recordings it was very much the traditional Irish folk songs. Having said there was the indication that they started to experiment some jazz influence.

I have no idea where did I put their third studio album.

I thought I have it, or may be not? I don't know.

Anyway this their fourth album " Crann Úll " and if translated to English meaning "Apple Tree".

Irish musician Moya Brennan dies aged 73

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crm112y4jyzo


With great sadness to report that Moya (Máire) Brennan of the Irish Folk Clannad has p[assed away.

Clannad was the first Irish Folk group led me to the Irish/ Celtic music.

Their long lasting legacy should never be underestimated.

As a tribute I am going to record their music. There will be two parts, from their debut "Clannad" to Moya last recording "Voices & Harps IV (with Cormac de Barra)" in 2024.

First came wit the debut album.

R.I.P.

Because he is an idiot and too keen on trying to make the bookkeeping looks good.

He could not see the long term damages inflicted to the country. Or, he doesn’t care and believe there is any danger, not the least he cares.

Good old and trusty John Simpson of BBC has stark feelings about the world crisis.

There is a part he talks about China which may be of one's interest.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj4qp17e1lqo

"As for China, President Xi Jinping has made few outright threats against the self-governed island of Taiwan recently. But two years ago the then director of the CIA William Burns said Xi Jinping had ordered the People's Liberation Army to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027. If China doesn't take some sort of decisive action to claim Taiwan, Xi Jinping could consider this to look pretty feeble. He won't want that.

You might think that China is too strong and wealthy nowadays to worry about domestic public opinion. Not so. Ever since the uprising against Deng Xiaoping in 1989, which ended with the Tiananmen massacre, Chinese leaders have monitored the way the country reacts with obsessive care.

I watched the events unfold in Tiananmen myself, reporting and even sometimes living in the Square.

The story of 4 June 1989 wasn't as simple as we thought at the time: armed soldiers shooting down unarmed students. That certainly happened, but there was another battle going on in Beijing and many other Chinese cities. Thousands of ordinary working-class people came out onto the streets, determined to use the attack on the students as a chance to overthrow the control of the Chinese Communist Party altogether.

When I drove through the streets two days later, I saw at least five police stations and three local security police headquarters burned out. In one suburb the angry crowd had set fire to a policeman and propped up his charred body against a wall. A uniform cap was put at a jaunty angle on his head, and a cigarette had been stuck between his blackened lips.

It turns out the army wasn't just putting down a long-standing demonstration by students, it was stamping out a popular uprising by ordinary Chinese people.

China's political leadership, still unable to bury the memories of what happened 36 years ago, is constantly on the look-out for signs of opposition - whether from organised groups like Falun Gong or the independent Christian church or the democracy movement in Hong Kong, or just people demonstrating against local corruption. All are stamped on with great force.

I have spent a good deal of time reporting on China since 1989, watching its rise to economic and political dominance. I even came to know a top politician who was Xi Jinping's rival and competitor. His name was Bo Xilai, and he was an anglophile who spoke surprisingly openly about China's politics.

He once said to me, "You'll never understand how insecure a government feels when it knows it hasn't been elected."

As for Bo Xilai, he was jailed for life in 2013 after being found guilty of bribery, embezzlement and abuse of power.

Altogether, then, 2026 looks like being an important year. China's strength will grow, and its strategy for taking over Taiwan - Xi Jinping's great ambition - will become clearer. "
