Photos of Mairéid and Ben.
Ben and Maireid met in 1997, when he interviewed her:
"Mairéid is capable of translating her music into a joyous musical adventure which speaks simultaneously of Ireland's past, it's hope for the new millennium and the artist's own belief in the promise of love and our right to be worthy of happiness."
~ Ben Kettlewell, Alternate Music Press 1997 |

Dancer ~ Musicians
Dancer (1994) recorded in Melbourne.
Maireid's first recording of original and traditional songs.
Produced by legendary Irish musician, Donal Lunny.
"... adroitly balances tunes ancient and modern, filling the new with past cadences and the old with contemporary cues...a formidable ensemble that moves easily between folk, contemporary and classical genres ...irresistible...enchanting." ~
Mike Daly, The Age, Melbourne, Australia |

~ Never Drift Apart ~ Musicians
Never Drift Apart (2003) recorded in Melbourne
"... a visionary musician, whose evocative music will transport you beyond time and space. Maireid's voice is always melodious and often angelic and otherworldly as it envelops you in spells of enchantment.
~ Celeste Adams, Creatrix Studio, Santa Monica
"Her sound doesn't categorize easily--you can't compare her to Enya or McKennitt, because she doesn't sound like either, but she is just as captivating. A truly unique vocal artist."
~ Catherine L. Tully, Celtic Music Magazine, Austin, Texas, USA
