The Liffey Light Orchestra is a musical group based in Dublin, Ireland, known originally for its performances of the music of English composer and multi-instrumentalist Mike Oldfield, including the first live performance of his Ommadawn in 1977. From 1976 into the 1980s it regularly performed Oldfield’s Tubular Bells and other pieces. The Liffey Light Orchestra is now primarily a recording group, performing music composed by its founder Paul Egan, which blends progressive rock and folk influences along with Irish traditional music. A 2020 review in Hot Press compared Egan's music to that of fellow Irish composers Bill Whelan and Shaun Davey.
