Moya Brennan - First Lady of Celtic Music has passed away. Our deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved both her and her music.

Máire Brennan (Moya) 1952-2026

We are completely heartbroken at the passing of our dearest sister Máire (Moya)

She crossed over last night at home in Donegal surrounded by family
and has now joined Pádraig & Noel across the veil

Her voice was the signature sound of Clannad and will live on forever
