Nothing technically wrong with his vocal delivery as such, it's just such an mind numbingly dull piece of music, and yes, being trad doesn't automatically make you rubbish, but Clannad seem to have achieved rubbishness despite the odds anyway. I'll admit I'm not familiar with Clannads entire back catalogue so I'm sure someone will probably point out some fantastic poitin, cocaine and fig rolls fuelled session they did in 1974 or something, but sadly the only stuff I've heard from them seems to be awful psuedo-celtic new age gubbins AND they unleashed Enya on the world, which is pretty hard to forgive them for.
Going back to Bonos duet with Sinatra, its that that I really dislike or anything, but it doesn't really work that well. Personal opinion of course.
