Skara Brae - Skara Brae

Released in 1971, the self-titled album contains beautifully performed Celtic Traditional songs and is considered one of the most important albums in its genre, notable as the first recording to include vocal harmonization in Irish language songs. The short lived band had in its ranks brother and sister Mícheál Ó Domhnaill and Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill, who would later go on to form The Bothy Band
