   Can Anyone Identify the Band?

   Looking through a VHS video of music-related videos I'd taped off the TV   
   in the early 1990's, I happened across a 2-minute segment of a   
   Gaelic-rock band performing the song "Alasdair MacColla", in Gaelic. It   
   was a promo-style video (they were obviously miming) as opposed to a   
   live, concert performance.   
      
   The band *isn't* Clannad, or Capercaillie, both of whom I know have   
   covered the song.   
      
   The location is a big, empty room, possibly a church interior; a large   
   expanse of wooden floorboards and a big, open arch in the background.   
      
   There are 6 in the group - 4 men, playing fiddle, tom-toms, bass or   
   electric guitar, and electric keyboard, and a woman banging a single drum.   
      
   The female vocalist has long, brown hair and a very strong jawline, not   
   unlike American actress Rene Russo.   
      
   Who are the band?
