After The Break is a studio album by the Irish folk music band Planxty, recorded at Windmill Lane Studios in June of 1978 [1] and released in 1979. It was the band's first of two releases on Tara Records.

As the title suggests, the album was the first after the group's initial split in 1975 (although Donal Lunny and Christy Moore had departed, separately, earlier). The album was produced by Lunny and engineered by Brian Masterson, who had worked with the band since their earliest shows.[2] It is the first of two albums to feature future Chieftains member Matt Molloy on flute, who had earlier been playing with Lunny in The Bothy Band.

Two songs recorded at the time, "Lord McDonald / The Chattering Magpie" and "The Bonny Light Horseman" were not included on the album, but were released on the Tara Records compilation High Kings of Tara. They were added to the album for the CD and digital releases of the album.[3] The album closes with the Bulgarian dance tune "Smeceno Horo" brought to the group by Andy Irvine, who has called it "the closest I ever got to melding two traditions together".[4]
