Brídín Ní Bhraonáin, professionally known as Brídín Brennan is an Irish pop singer from Dobhar (Dore), Gweedore, County Donegal. She is the youngest of the nine Brennan siblings, notably the sister of Enya, Moya, Ciarán Brennan, and Pól Brennan,[1] and has also toured with family band Clannad.[2]

Brídín is believed to have been born in July 1968. A article in the Donegal Democrat newspaper dated July 21 1989 stated she "celebrated her twenty first birthday recently." [3]

Career

Brídín's musical career began when her sister Moya asked her to join as a vocalist at Clannad's live performances, and with the Duggan twins. Brídín featured on "Noinín/The Mucky Duck".

Over the next seven years she accompanied Clannad on tours in Ireland and abroad, and took part in recording on some of their albums and appeared with Moya Brennan on the television shows Later... with Jools Holland in the UK and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in the United States.

She went on to work along with her other sisters Olive and Deirdre on Moya Brennan's solo projects, including the first and second solo albums Máire and Misty Eyed Adventures. Brídín went on to record her own album Eyes of Innocence in 2005. The album was only released in Ireland, although it is also available online. Two singles were released from the album for radio play: "Hang On"[2] and "You Can't Hurt Me".
