New Album

I am thrilled to announce that I will be releasing a new solo album in early 2013. Entitled The Calling, the album is a collaboration with my great friend and mentor, the double - Grammy winning producer Craig Leon. We have finished recording in Dublin and London and are putting the final touches to the mixes now. I can’t wait to share it with you!

Divinas Premiere

Filmed last summer, “Divinas Live from Chambord Castle” brings together the talents of three gifted world music singers - Méav of Ireland, Russian-New Zealander Yulia and Iranian-Israeli Rita. The magnificent castle provides the perfect backdrop to the performances of classic songs such as The first time ever I saw your face, Wild Mountainside, and Shenandoah arranged by Grammy- award winning producer Craig Leon.

Home for Christmas

While I am no longer a member of Celtic Woman, I was very happy to be invited to return as a guest member on the new album “Home for Christmas”. As well as glorious group numbers with Chloe, Lisa and Mairéad, it features two new solos of mine, Silent Night and What Child is This. I am proud to announce that Home for Christmas is currently Number One on the Billboard World Music Charts, a position we are happily familiar with! The special Target edition of the album includes an additional solo track of mine , In the Bleak Midwinter, which you can listen to here.
