”I think she has one of the greatest voices the human ear has ever experienced" BONO

"Brennan is that rare artist who, by defying exact categorization, remains one to continually keep and eye on" BILLBOARD

”Moya has evolved a sound that claims kinship with the past , but still manages to claim a piece of turf that’s all her own" IRISH TIMES

”... a voice which seems like it's always been there and always will be" JOE JACKSON

Timeless, elemental and carried heavenwards in soulful breath, Moya's voice reaches out to the farthest places but still touches the soul. She sings with an angel's voice, arousing a passion in every listener. Her music refreshes and heals, exciting the senses, bringing a sense of calm to tired hearts.

Always fresh, forever just a dream away Moya captures the essence of her homeland in all its cascading beauty, mystery and contradictions. Yet she sings from the heart to a world where hope, faith and joy are not just a dream. Yes, it all makes sense and there are elements of these qualities in many of the world's great singers. Yet it is astounding that her voice goes from strength to strength. She stands as an Irish icon with the world as her stage.

In her music making, Moya has never been content to nestle within comfortable boundaries. From an early age she trod the boards with her father Leo in the dance halls, then became fixated with the likes of Joni Mitchell and the Beach Boys before going on to share, with her band Clannad, an enlightening discovery of the extraordinary wealth of Celtic history and melody on her doorstep. Clannad sent tremors through the world of traditional music. With "Harry's Game" they took the Irish language and its melodies to places that it had never been before - Top of the Pops, major record contracts and world tours. The accolades followed -Ivor Novello and BAFTA awards plus, after several nominations, a Grammy award in 1999. Their music was fresh, vibrant and progressive.

Alongside all of this, Moya has developed an individuality which has already shown itself in her expanding body of work. When an artist's career can often be measured in months, hers spans decades. Through this clamorous journey, through school halls, folk clubs, festivals, discos, churches, the world's most renowned concert halls she has travelled purposefully and always focused. The power of her whispered tones and the beauty of her music touch the soul. Gently, yet persistently, her songs and her music are redefining Irish music.

Her solo career outside of the bounds of Clannad has been prolific with 8 studio albums including a new album of Hymns to be titled this year. As a solo artist she has also enlisted the help of her peers through the Irish music family. Following their 2008 reunion tour, it was later announced that Moya would be working on a new unplugged album and tour with Clannad for release in 2009/2010.
