Clannad's 40th anniversary performance "Live at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin" is airing on WLIW21 on St. Patrick's Day at 3p.m. and again 10p.m., and nationally this month on public television stations around the U.S.

The five original members of Clannad, the legendary family group from Donegal, came together last year for a rare live performance marking the band's 40th anniversary. It was the first full concert in 20 years featuring all five founding members.

The performance was recorded at the 11th century Christ Church Cathedral as part of the Temple Bar Tradfestand the resulting WLIW21 broadcast includes exclusive interviews with Moya Brennan.

Featured guests during the concert are Anúna, Ireland's National Choir, and Brian Kennedy, known for his years singing with Van Morrison and as the lead singer in Riverdance on Broadway. Kennedy joins the band for "In a Lifetime," originally a duet with Bono on Clannad's album Macalla.
