Against the wind - Máire Brennan

Máire Brennan was born as Máire Philomena Ní Bhraonáin on August 4, 1952 in Gweedore, Ireland. In 1970 joined her two brothers Pól and Ciarán and their mother's two twin brothers Noel and Pádraig Ó Dúgáin to form Clannad. With this Irish band they enjoyed a lot of success - and, in the Eighties, even international success - and recorded 17 albums.

In 1992, Máire decided to go solo. She released her debut solo album 'Máire', from which her debut single 'Against the wind' was taken. It was the only single by her to reach the UK singles chart, although it only peaked at number 64.
