Youtube: "In late July 1974, Tír na nÓg broke up*, but shortly after going back to Ireland, they were approached by the BBC and asked to compose songs for an episode of a documentary series called The Camera & The Song, produced by John Bird and Tony Broughton. The concept was simple: combine the music of several artists and bands (including Ralph McTell, The Ian Campbell Folk Group, Fivepenny Piece, Grimms, etc...) with the camera of a film director under a particular theme linked to one country most of the time.
The following episode was directed by David Feig. Entitled "The Irish", it presents a global view of Ireland and its elements that make us dream about this land. Tir na nOg asked to be introduced as Leo O'Kelly and Sonny Condell as the group had dissolved at the time.
Most of the songs here were specially written for the program by the duo, excepting Two White Horses and Boat Song from their two first LPs that were re-recorded with new orchestral arrangements by Nick Harrison (who had previously participated in their first two albums)..."
