Just a word of thanks for someone posting the text from my website - "Mary O'Hara: Musical Voice of Ireland", but it's much better when viewed in its context with photos and background music!

My husband and I had seen Mary perform live in concert in Vancouver BC in the fall of 1983 and were overwhelmed and amazed. We were impressed as well by the graciousness demonstrated later. After a performance in wich she gave so much of herself, she patiently waited until every person lined up to meet her was greeted ~ we noticed all this because were were the last 2 people in a very long line! Not only did she have time to sign our concert program, but she had time to chat :-)

Several years ago when I wondered why no new music was being released, I checked online and was shocked that I could find very little on her or her life.

It just didn't seem right or make any sense so with the little that I knew, I made my simple 2 page site dedicated to Mary so that others searching could at least find something!

As I say on my site, I wish her well in whatever form of retirement she enjoys but will miss her voice and her music! I wish that all her music could be more readily available in stores or online than it is at present and have heard that there is a new 2CD 40 song compilation recently released which I am sure will be enjoyed by all Mary's old fans as well as those just discovering her for the very 1st time!!

Visit this link to hear and watch Mary sing exquisitely, with her voice being her only musical accompaniment!! A truly breathtaking performance and an extremely brief few comments regarding the song at the end of the video ~
