Moya Brennan - (1952 - 2026)

In 1982 Clannad had broken the world with the theme for “Harrys Game” four years later I heard for the first “In a lifetime“ I fell in love with Moya, her beguiling beauty only bettered by the voice even an angel could not posses. In 2018 I had the insane idea to reach out and ask Moya if she would consider contributing to “Mercy’s Door”. Much to my surprise Moya’s husband Tim called me out of the blue, we talked over the track, he said they both had listened to “Mercy’s Door” and Moya was up for it, Tim invited me over to Dublin, I was in shock, humbled, the adrenaline was exploding inside me , as we agreed a day, I will always remember putting phone down tears of emotion overwhelming me, Moya Brennan was going to sing on my track .

Tim, Moya, Aisling & Paul welcomed me into their lives and home, the day i spent with the Jarvis family remains one of the best days of my life .

Moya the Queen of Celtic music, gave me the gift of a day that will live not just for a lifetime but forever in the hearts of my family.

Thank you Moya, may you rest peacefully, the angels can now sing with a true Queen xx
