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! In June and July 2007 she was also awarded two honorary degrees for her work.
And if you like celtic music, don't forget to check out Enya's musical family links at the bottom of the page, as well as my Loreena McKennitt lens!
The really good places to go for Enya on the web.
- The Official Enya Website

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.
Lore
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).
Amazon Price: (as of 07/26/2008)
