Born on August 4, 1952, in Gweedore, County Donegal, Ireland, Máire was the eldest of nine siblings. Her parents, Leo and Baba Brennan, were both musicians, and Máire grew up in a musical family where traditional Irish music was a way of life. Máire's musical journey began at a young age when she started singing with her siblings in a local choir. She learned to play the guitar and the harp and soon became a proficient musician. In 1970, Máire and her siblings formed the band Clannad, which went on to become one of the most successful Irish bands of all time. Clannad's music was a fusion of traditional Irish music and contemporary pop, and Máire's hauntingly beautiful voice was a defining feature of the band's sound. The band's first album, "Clannad," was released in 1973, and it was followed by several more successful albums, including "Fuaim" (1982), "Magical Ring" (1983), and "Macalla" (1985). In 1982, Máire released her first solo album, "Máire," which showcased her exceptional talent as a singer and songwriter. The album was a critical and commercial success, and it earned Máire a reputation as one of the most talented musicians in Ireland. Over the years, Máire has collaborated with several other musicians and artists, including Enya, Bono, and Paul Young. She has also performed at some of the world's most prestigious venues, including Carnegie Hall in New York and the Royal Albert Hall in London. In 1992, Máire was invited to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest, where she represented Ireland with the song "Dreams." The song was a huge success, and it helped to further cement Máire's reputation as a world-class musician. Máire has received several awards and accolades throughout her career. In 1995, she was awarded the prestigious Irish Music Award for Best Female Artist, and in 1998, she was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Irish World Music Awards. In addition to her music career, Máire is also a devoted mother and wife. She has been married to her husband, Tim Jarvis, since 1975, and together they have four children.

Her music has touched the hearts of millions of people, and her legacy as one of Ireland's greatest musicians is secure.
