“Legend” by Clannad, the BAFTA award winning and iconic eighth studio album release from 1984, serving as the soundtrack for the cult British TV series “”Robin of Sherwood.”” The album vividly captures the mystical and atmospheric essence of the show, blending traditional Irish folk with contemporary sounds.

Renowned for their ethereal and haunting musical style, Clannad utilise a mix of acoustic instruments, lush harmonies, and synthesizers to create a rich, otherworldly ambiance.
