I learned that one of my favorite musicians passed away a couple of days ago: Máire Brennan of Clannad. Not very big news in the States, I’m afraid, but it’s a big loss for anyone with an appreciation for traditional Irish/Celtic music.
Her name is often Anglicized as Moya—which I guess was to help the rest of the world pronounce it properly—and I got to meet her in 1998 when she was promoting her album Perfect Time. She had a brief performance and a CD signing at Borders Books & Music at the World Trade Center store, where I was working at the time.
a strange voice calling ‘Journey’s at an end…
