Yes, that was Clannad.  Irish folk music it is.  You should try Macalla,
Anam, Sirius, the Magical Ring, or for a good compilation Past and Present.

The movie you may have heard them in is Last of the Mohicans.  Also they did 
the soundtrack for the series Robin of Sherwood (a very good soundtrack to 
pick up as well :) )  For all you triva buffs, Clannad's lead singer, 
Maire Brennan is also the sister of... Enya.  You should really give these
guys (and girl) a whirl.  They are one of my faves!  Their music has gotten 
a bit poppy recently as opposed to their more Celtic albums.  Maire also 
recently released a solo album which is exellent (IMHO).  Enjoy.
