What is recorded here
Maura O'Connell was born in Ennis, County Clare, Ireland, on 16 September 1958, the third of four sisters in a household where light opera, rebel ballads and folk club energy collided. She worked in her mother's family fish shop until song took over, carrying that Clare-born voice into American newgrass and back again.
