Enya is one of the most mysterious women of the music world. The way she protects her privacy and stays apart from the 'rich and famous' scene makes her a truly unique artist. Her music draws its origins in celtic traditions; and whether it is crafted with modern tools or rendered in a splendid piano instrumental, every note touches the very fiber of your soul. Her participation for the Lord of the Ring soundtrack (you'll find the video on this lens if you scroll down) may have helped to have her music reach a wider audience. So much the better!

The Official Enya Website

One of a few fabulous fansites. Includes an 'Amarantine special' with articles (an interview even) photos, info about Loxian, online music and video and much more... Definitely worth checking out. Long list of Enya sites around the world as well.

Another excellent fan-site, quite complete, and with a delicate style that perfectly matches the artist it is devoted to.
Forum of the Enya Fans Organization.

Enya's musical family 

Clannad's official website.
"The unique voice of modern Irish music." Clannad is formed of many members of the Brennan family. A somewhat new website, includes biography of the band, a gallery of photos, a forum and a shop.
The Clannad Newsblog
Pretty cool blog site, with news, and backgrounds on Clannad and Moya Brennan (see below), links and concert dates of the band.
Moya (Maire) Brennan's official website.
"The first lady of celtic music." Best known as lead singer of Clannad, she has released six solo albums since 1992. The latest is an Irish Christmas album. Lots of other links.
Bridin Brennan's official website
Bridin is the youngest child in Enya's family, the Brennan. She also is a solo artist, though she works with other family members on other projects as well. Her music isn't quite as celtic though.

Brennan music.

A good place to start. This is the original 1996 release that I have at home. It came with a second bonus CD containing 6 tracks, mostly soundtracks (Harry's game, Robin the hooded man) and a song recorded with Bono (yes, Bono from U2, that's the one).
