AN ECHOES ST. PATRICK'S CELEBRATION WITH MOYA BRENNAN Moya Brennan was the voice of Clannad, the Irish band that
paved the way for the new Celtic music of the 1980s and 90s.
Now on her own, Brennan continues with a spiritualized music,
neither Celtic nor New Age, rock nor folk. She recently released
a new CD called TWO HORIZONS (Universal Music). Moya Brennan
comes into the Echoes Living Room with her band to play Celtic
harp and sing her symphony for the voice. Moya Brennan is the
centerpiece of an Echoes St. Patrick's Celebration.
