“When Máire Brennan opened her mouth, something unearthly happened. It wasn’t from this world, it was from another world. It lifted me into another reality. She herself didn’t know where it came from, when asked, but it was definitely the combination of her being , her gentle soul, her other worldly quality. It touched my deepest being, it was more than Irish music, it was more than a country, a creed or place. It was the very essence of feeling, joy and sadness. Máire had that rare quality of being gentle, fragile even innocent and open but also possessed the wisdom of life.” – Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh
