Dúlamán (Irish pronunciation: [ˈd̪ˠuːlˠəmˠaːnˠ]; "Seaweed") is the third studio album by Irish folk group Clannad. It was released in 1976. It is named for its first track, a rendition of the Irish folk song "Dúlamán".

The songs Siúil a Rúin and Cucanandy are inspired by recordings of Elizabeth Cronin (Eibhlís Uí Chróinín).

Influence

Minneapolis Celtic-rock band Boiled in Lead was inspired to take its name from Clannad's version of Irish murder ballad "The Twa Sisters" as performed on this album as "Two Sisters."
