In her music making, Clannad star Moya Brennan 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 their song ‘Harry's Game’, they took the Irish language and its melodies to places that it had never been before.
Moya performs at Monroe’s Live tonight, Wednesday 21 September. Doors open at 9pm and tickets cost €15.
