Moya Brennan

Moya Brennan, the first lady of Celtic music, makes her Turner Sims debut with her band, bringing the distinctive wild Atlantic atmosphere of Northwest Ireland to her unique voice and sound. Moya, along with Clannad, has sold over 15 million records worldwide and a received a string of top awards, including Ivor Novello, BAFTA and a Grammy. They were awarded a lifetime achievement at the BBC Folk Awards in 2014.

Moya draws audiences into her world of rhythm, atmosphere and vibrant harmony; a journey where spells of rousing Irish tunes give way to moments of exquisite, fragile stillness. Over the years with Clannad and also in her solo shows, Moya has delivered pioneering Celtic harmonies and music rooted in her Irish heritage and inspired by the powerful elements of ocean, mountains and endless skies that surrounded her growing up in her native Donegal. It is the intimacy and beauty of her singing which keeps bringing her audiences back for more.
