28 Apr 06 - 01:53 AM (#1729137) Subject: RE: Nollaig Brolly From: Anglo Seamus, this tells you. From a listing in CD Baby: Nollaig Brolly comes from Dungiven, in the Northwestern part of Ireland where she grew up under the influence of her famous singing duo parents Anne and Francie Brolly. She toured Ireland and the United States with her parents, performing on stages at age 11. Classically trained, Nollaig played lead flute in the Irish Youth Orchestra and achieved distinction in the 8th grade winning the Ulster College of Music Wind award in 1996. She studied piano for 12 years and then taught herself to play harp. Nollaig was a featured soloist in the San Diego Symphony's Winter Pop Concert Celtic Celebrations. She recently released a new CD "Under a Pale Moon". |

She would play her harp and mesmerize the audience with her angelic voice! I made sure I got an autographed copy of Under A Pale Moon from her back then, and I still have it! I loved her voice then and now. Dia duit Nollaig |

She has the most amazing voice as well as being talented on the harp and tin whistle. I miss hearing her sing live but still have the recordings. Anyone know where she plays nowadays? |

I saw Nollaig performing in at a couple of events in Belfast and in Derry Northern Ireland not so long before things shut down due to the pandemic. Now that venues are opening up again, here is a video of Nollaig aka Nodlaig Brolly playing and singing in Co Derry this year, 2022. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEzaV9s4a_U |
