We are glad that we’ve met Moya en you Tim in Enschede ( The Netherlands) in april 2022 at an arranged meet and greet by our dear friend Marleen.(Before that, we met you Tim and Willy Grace during the concert in Haarlem.)
We will remember Moya dearly. She was a lovely person and a great singer❣️
We watched the beautiful service last Friday. Thank you for making that possible.
Heartfelt greetings to you all and we pray for Gods peace and blessings🙏🏼

When people ask what is the best live music performance you have ever experienced? and what celebrity death hit you the most? Then Moya, you are this.
I first saw you quite a few years ago when you visited my home town of Llandudno in North Wales, the voice of an angel who had a story to tell. I was physically and mentally moved by your performance and remember it as if it were Yesterday.
Your lovely family must be so so proud of you as the people of the whole of your Country of Ireland and beyond are.
May God Bless your lovely soul and you rest in peace Moya x
My deepest sympathies to you all on your loss. For years i was always aware of Moya’s musical talent but to hear her talking on Highland Radio it was easy to feel like you knew her always.
Soft spoken, grounded, yet worldwide known and respectful for everything she accomplished and a fullfilled life.
It left a lump in the throat hearing of her death knowing an iconic ambassador for a county’s people was gone, yet thankful for not silenced, for her music and voice will still bring peace and tranquility to many in turbulent times forever more.
Wishing you the strength to forever talk of her creativity and moments of memory.
Donegal lost a daughter and Celtic music lost it’s mother.
Rest Easy on the green glens of Gaoth Dobhair Máire.
The moment I learned of Moi’s death, I froze. Through her music, she became a part of my life, and Clannad became a band that accompanied me since kindergarten. I thank fate for the opportunity to meet her several times, talk to her, and thank her for the music she created. Thanks to her music and your kindness and generosity, Moya, you will remain forever in my memory and soul. With love and respect to you, Moya, and my condolences to all your family, friends, and loved ones.
We were very sad to read about Moya’s passing.
I had the pleasure of interviewing her for Ireland Own Magazine. She was a beautiful person with an amazing voice. She will be missed. Our heartfelt thoughts are with all the family at this time. Deepest sympathy from Amanda & Sean Murphy.
What a privilege to know Moya. She came to my life through her wonderful husband Tim. I got to do a duet in the British ambassador’s home – a highlight for me! Her love and kindness will live on through Tim Aishling and Paul – we will remember her always. May she rest in peace. Love John C

My fondest memories of attending St Marks in Dublin were when the Celtic music team were rostered on to lead the worship. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.
“Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise;
Thou mine inheritance, now and always;
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart;
O King of glory, my treasure Thou art.”
Thank you for making me feel part of the wonderful celebration of Moya’s life through that deeply moving memorial service. One of the things I’ll remember most about her is that she knew that this life is not about fame but about real connection between people.
She had a gift of making you feel seen and appreciated.
Thank you, Moya. I’ll cherish the memories.
My thoughts are with you Tim, Aisling, Paul, Baba and the family.
God Bless,

My deepest condolences for Moya’s Family and Friends- her voice was and always will be part of my life. Will never forget how listening to “Robin of Sherwood” soundtrack made me feel when I was a child, many years ago. It was the first Clannad album I ever owned.Thank you for your music…
“Nothing’s forgotten”
To you, the grieving family, I offer my deepest sympathies. My heartfelt condolences are with you in your time of mourning.
Moya’s voice has been a part of my joys and sorrows for nearly 50 years. Many of us around the world benefit from this wonderful sonic medicine. We will thankfully have the joy of listening to Moya forever thanks to the wonderful recordings made by the Brennan family. It is now the angels in heaven who will have the joy of Moya’s luminous presence.
I hope to return one day to Crolly to pay my respects at her grave and breathe in that special atmosphere of that little corner of Ireland that I love so much!
Thank you, Clannad, thank you, Moya!
R.i.p moya thank you for your beautiful voice may you fly with the angels.

Dear Tim, Aisling and Paul.
The song, “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” comes to mind as I picture Moya in Heaven.
“And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.”
Praying for you as you grieve.
Jesus holds your heart.
God bless, Valmai
É con profondo dolore che saluto la mia voce celtica….adoravo Moya.
Non potendo partecipare al rito funebre (vivo nel sud Italia) oggi per tutta la giornata ho ascoltato tutta la sua musica.
Ora e per sempre Moya.
I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the wonderful Moya Brennan on Monday. For more than 25 years, her music has been a near-daily presence in my life, which isn’t easy living in southern Germany near the Alps. I was overjoyed when I had the opportunity to see her perform live at a small concert in Munich. I will never forget that experience as long as I live. For me, she will live on forever through her music. I attended the memorial service online and was close to tears. I wish all her family and friends much strength during this sad time. Moya – rest in peace.

Another voice in the heavenly choir. You shall be missed. (From Nova Scotia, Canada)
With a sorrow in my heart I was saying goodbye to a lovely Moya when watching the final goodbye ceremeony streamed over the Internet. What’s a beautiful goodbye. I am sending my deepest condolences to Moya’s husband, her kids, Enya and the entire family.
There was so much warmth in Moya presence when I met her in Bury UK after the concert she held with Cormac. We’ve had a lovely conversation and she invited me to Leo’s Tavern. Sometimes you meet on your way people who are incredibly rare , like a jewels. Like you meant to meet them and Moya was one of them. The entire conversation she held my hand like she was a life friend and that’s what I mean – she gave you that feeling. Pure heart, treating people kindly, paying attention. It’s rare those days. I am sure now she is celebrating in heaven with her dad and all the angels. Once again deepest condolences to the whole Brennan and Javris families. God bless you all. Rest in peace Moya 🕊🙏🌹🌺🌸

Dear Tim, Aisling, Paul and all the extended family,
my deepest condolences.
It feels like a good friend has died.
I got to know Moya through her Christmas concerts in Germany. The first time I heard her, I was captivated. Her voice has such an indescribable warmth, that makes one feel safe and protected. I really enjoyed the short conversations after the concerts. She was so very nice and kind and I regret that I didn’t learn about her and Clannad sooner.
❤️ Moya is loved by many! ❤️
We will never forget her.
My thoughts are with you.

I had one chance to meet Moya at a festival back in 2012. She was walking alone around the sunny festival grounds and I so wanted to say hello and tell her how much she and her music meant to me but, I lost my nerve and have regretted it ever since. I know she would have been gracious and warm as she has been with so many others. I do have something special though, the image in my memory of her walking in a sunlit tranquil moment away from the crowds, a familiar stranger and I’ll keep that moment dear. Farwell Moya. My thoughts and love to all her family and friends.
My sincere condolences at the passing of Moira. I listened to Clannad many years ago with CDs borrowed from the local library. I now have her discography saved and will listen continually. Thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.

I’m sad for the lost of an iconic Irish singer of Moya Brennan who is a national treasure of one of the Irish greatest female singers of all time, and I got to see Clannad in Derry back in 2022, and it was one of the best concerts ever, and I took my sister Gemma to see Clanned, and my sister enjoys it so much. We’re going to miss you Moya Brennan, and I can still her your voice when you songs are coming alive. 🍀🇮🇪🙏
My deepest condolences. We already miss you. We will never forget you. Love from France. 🕊
So sorry for your loss. I’m sure she is singing with the angels as her voice was so angelic she will fit right in. I know my brother who passed just a year ago will have a front row seat as he loved listening to the beautiful music she made all these years. Slán go fóill Moya

Thank you so much for enabling us all over the world to virtually attend the service. It was beautiful and heartwarming to see Moya been bid farewell by her own family, friends and community.

I’ll always have her music, but I’ll really miss her. My condolences to all those around her.

Dear Moya, your voice, your songs, your story have been a soundtrack of my entire life. So many moments and memories – times of sadness and light, contemplatation and revelry have Clannad and you been with me. Condolences and thoughts to all your family and friends. You leave us with a tome of tales in music, that will stay forever. Thank you… Imigh faoi shíocháin agus faoi amhrán.
I want to express my deepest condolences to Moya’s family and friends. I’ve had the honor of meeting her a couple of times and she was always so kind, patience and funny. At one of the concerts where I met her she called me “the chocolate egg man” as she remembered that I once gave her a huge sack of chocolate eggs. She was also the one that started my journey of discovering Ireland and Irish music and giving me several Irish friends. Her music has been part of my whole life since I was 17. She’ll be missed by many. May she rest in peace and every once in while may her soul drift on a leaf down through the streams of Goathbearra as she once sang.
When I was a US Marine, I suffered a crushing injury to my right hand, leaving me without the ability to play piano or guitar. As I languished in the the hospital, I considered ending my own life, but a Sailor across the ward put on some music he found in Scotland. As I listened to the most beautiful voice I’d ever heard, the darkness of my soul lightened, and it was as if an angel was speaking to me. It was “Caislean Oir,” and my life changed forever from that day. Maire became the voice of Ireland for me, and it always felt as if she was calling me to my ancestral home.
She saved my life, and I will always be grateful to her hand the Brennan Family for the gifts they gave me. I know Maire is in the Heavenly Host, for from that first time I heard her voice, I knew what angels sounded like (Enya too).
God Bless, and Rest in Peace.
Very saddened to hear the news of Moyà’s passing. I have been a big Clannad fan for many years. Her voice was the most unique and beautiful one in the world of music. My thoughts are with her family at this difficult time. Her legacy will live forever. Rest in peace Moyà and thank you for all the memories. God bless xx
Deepest condolences to all the family.
Her Legacy lives on .
Sincere condolences to family and friends from Moya from Asten, the Netherlands. Your music meant so much for me since I saw Clannad for the first time in the Netherlands almost 50 years ago. Glad to have been at Leo’s tavern last year , you were there as well but unfortunately not as a singer.
Wish everyone a lot of strength,
Love, Toine
Condolences to all Maire’s Family. May she Rest in Peace.
My deepest and sincere condolences from France to the talented and lovely Brennan family. Your music and Moya’s voice are part of the soundtrack of my life since 30 years. A musician myself I had the chance to catch Clannad live in Paris in 2024 for the farewell tour too and it was a magical evening. May Moya’s soul soar to heaven and travel safely through light and peace. And may all of you find comfort and peace in memories music and the strenght of Love.
God bless you all,
Nico

A wonderful and very talented lady as are all of the family. I will miss hearing her dearly as will millions around the world. Much love to you all at this sad and difficult time ❤️
I wish to offer my deepest condolences an prayers.
I read the very sad news about Moya yesterday morning. I’m still truly in shock, lost for words, still can’t believe She has gone so early.
She is a wonderful person and has meant so much to me ever since I discovered her talent and her voice (full of love) back in the 90s. I’ve been crying about it since yesterday. I am very sorry for this terrible loss, this deeply breaks my heart.
Living in Belgium, I didn’t have the chance to see/meet her in real. I’m so sorry for this. I’m still reading her personal kind dedication/words she wrote for me on her latest album. Tears are rolling down my face since yesterday.
I wish lots of strength and send plenty of love and kindness… to her family and beloved friends.
May She rest in peace, keeping singing with the Angels. Please God, take care of Her and her family.
Lots of love,
Laurent Hosch

It’s been a sad week for the Irish music community with the loss of our very own First Lady of Celtic Music. Moya was a special person as are Clannad. Thank God we will always have the wonderful music to enjoy and comfort us. I’ve been playing Clannad every day since the sad news broke & I have to say I’m still in shock. I know Moya had a strong connection with my home town of Sligo & I know she will be greatly missed around here.
I just feel so blessed I managed to see Clannad live several times along with that wonderful weekend where Leo’s Tavern celebrated their 50th Anniversary & I still have the tee shirt to prove it!
I would like to take this opportunity with a heavy heart to express my deepest condolences to Moya’s Family and close Friends. May God bring you safely home into his Heavenly Kingdom. God Bless and Rest in Peace …our Celtic Queen 🇮🇪☘️💔☘️🇮🇪
An avid fan,

The beautiful voice of Clannad. Thank you for the songs you sung and the inspiration and love they gave.
Rest in peace Moya.
I’ve so many memories of Moya that it’d take up too much room here. One that I’d love to share is of the time she performed at Canary Wharf in London, a one-off show I was so glad I attended.
Being amongst stoic Londoners, no one showed the fun they wanted to have despite Moya’s encouragement from the stage.
I stood up and went to the front and danced away, with a friend who was with me that came to eventually join and had the most fun time.
I went to go see her backstage (it was a temporary set so really it was a couple of tents behind some metal fencing). In testament of the love everyone had for her; there was a pretty big queue. That I’d had the fortune of meeting and conversing with her a few times before, I thought best to leave and let her have her rest after what must have been an exhausting trip.
As I walked a fair way along the pavement heading home, I heard a call from behind. Who should it be, but Moya! She literally ran up to me, gave me the biggest hug and kiss and told me that she’d seen and appreciated me being the one to come up and dance and remembered me from what must be a million fans before. Her entourage were calling her back as they had a restaurant booking but she forwent that just to give me that most beautiful moment.
Máire – you are, were and forever will be truly loved by all your friends let alone your family.
May your spirit soar as so it should. I’ll remember and cherish you forever.

To all family and friends… having followed the music of Clannad and the family for many years this latest news was devastating.
We saw Móya and daughter Aisling at a small concert near York, UK and Aisling kindly took an image of them both for me on my phone 🙌
We then had the enormous pleasure of meeting and listening to the story of Clannad, and their beginning from Móya herself… This was at an event in Balbriggan called, the Celtic World Forum and Moya was amazing and openly shared her story and experiences… my wife and I will always treasure this memory and her kindness, together with Aisling 🙌
May she rest in peace and we shall always remember her 😇
Moyà has been whispering in my ear for many decades, with her soothing and calming dulcet tones. Deep sadness in the loss of someone who has given so much to so many….. but her chords live on in our lives, a gift to us all.
Moya, you were the voice of my teenage years, your music saved my life. Thank you for everything, for all the time you spent with us. I will miss you forever, Louise xxx

Dear sweet Moya,
It was a pleasure and an honor to be enraptured by your voice and to have met you in person when you came to Florence for a concert in 2013.
If I love Ireland so much today, I owe it above all to you.
In the end, you didn’t really leave, magically imprisoned between land and sea.
So very sorry for your loss 💜 Moyà’s beautiful voice will live on for eternity. Requiescant in pace 🏴x
I wish to send you beautiful condolences and sympathies of your loss of your sister and family member Moya Brennan ( Jarvis)! I remember clannad coming to Sydney for the last concert and remembering Moya beautiful haunting voice. I cried the whole concert thinking of my beloved Irish friend who introduced to clannad in 1994 & my beloved other Irish lady friend who at the time was dieing!
Clannad but Moya especially took me from times of joy in sadness and giving me a peace while listening to your awesome awe inspiring music!
I want to sincerely Thankyou Moya and Clannad💝 a very missed and beautiful soul!
RIP Moya

Dear Family and Friends of Moya,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of the wonderful Moya Brennan.
I had the great pleasure of meeting Moya briefly after one of her concerts, and that short encounter left a lasting impression on me. Beyond her incredible musical gift, I remember her as an extraordinarily kind, warm-hearted, and attentive person. She had a rare way of making people feel truly seen and welcome. Her light and her voice will be deeply missed, but her spirit will certainly live on through the beauty she brought into this world.
Wishing you peace and strength during this difficult time.
With deepest sympathy,
Olli Petersen

My heart goes out to all her family at this difficult time.
Dear Moya,
You brought light, joy and happiness with your voice and music to so many people.

Rest in Peace Máire. Thank you for all the music and the soothing peace you brought to myself and so many people all over the world. You and your family have brought the sound and feel of Irish magic to so many who would not have known its beauty without your otherworldly voice. Much love to your family, especially your talented children, in whom your spirit lives on and through and keeps you close to our hearts. You will be sorely missed, but what is remembered lives, and you will surely do that every time your music is played for the many yet to come. 💚

Our sincere and heartfelt condolences to the entire Brennan and Jarvis families. We were extremely saddened to hear the news. We always felt very welcomed whenever we would meet members of the family and we will forever cherish the times when we had the opportunity to meet and chat with Moya. May God comfort you and keep you during this time of great loss. With much love.
I deeply admired Moya… after a concert in Bremen, Germany, I also had the honor of a brief
conversation with her. She was enchanting, and her music was magical. I miss her very much 💔
Sending condolences from Australia. Moya had the voice of an angel. Rest in Peace Moya ❤️
Moya, you will be missed so, so much. You were loved by so many people. Words can’t describe what a loss this is for Ireland and the rest of the world. I can’t believe you’re gone. I will love you forever. Love Amelia xx
Rest in Peace Moya, and thank you so much for the legacy you have left us all.
In the 90’s my mother won a copy of “Lore” on the radio, and I grew up listening to Clannad on every road trip to put us kids to sleep. It turned us into major fans..
I’m now 36 and had the opportunity to see Clannad’s last performance in Brisbane City Hall with Mum and my late father. Thank you for gracing us with your beauty, angelic and haunting voice, and the deep appreciation for Irish/traditional music. I will never forget it.
You left us with an incredible tapestry of recordings that warm the soul, and celebrate love and life. Your spirit will live on in my lifetime, and the hearts of those you have touched around the world. My thoughts and prayers are with Moya’s family and friends at this difficult time.
Much love from Brisbane, Australia.

Clannad’s music and Moya’s incredible voice were a comfort to me in some really tough times. I want to send my thoughts and prayers to her family and friends. Her loss is deeply felt and she will be missed. God blessings to all in this time.
Lovely Moya, thank you so much for your music. You have been a voice in our lives since that first time hearing Harry’s Game. You were the voice who was heard at our wedding ceremony. So many memories of seeing you in concert. The best was at the Homecoming to Donegal in the summer of 2013. Forever in our hearts. Condolences to your wonderful family. May they find comfort in knowing you were loved and respected by so many people. Rest in peace.
I’m deeply saddened by the loss of Moya Brennan💔. Her voice was more than music—it was something truly spiritual, capable of touching hearts across the world. Through her art, she brought peace, beauty, and a sense of connection that will never fade.🌟
May her soul rest in peace, and may her legacy continue to inspire and comfort everyone who had the privilege of listening to her. She will be profoundly missed.💐❤️🩹

Liebe Moya, ich hatte das große Glück dich so oft singen zu hören und anschließend zu treffen. Du warst immer so freundlich und warmherzig, dass es einen tief berührt hat. Der Familie spreche ich mein tiefes Beileid aus. Der Verlust ist unermeßlich und Worte können nicht trösten.
Die Welt ist so viel ärmer ohne dich. Ich bin sehr traurig.

With a heavy heart, I say goodbye to one of the dearest artists of mine Moya Brennan.
I had the honour of meeting her in 2007 in Croatia at Kristfest, and I was so happy to hear her music live for the first time. She also brought and introduced her beautiful Celtic music to my country, for which I will always be grateful. Her voice was just not music, it was something deeply spiritual, timeless and pure.
You will never be forgotten, You beautiful soul.
Rest in peace.
Le Grá 🤍
Condolences to all Moya’s family, she was a lovely woman who showed great kindness to all the young artists in Clubeo, may you rest in peace xx
Moya was a truly remarkable lady, full of warmth and kindness, and blessed with the most uniquely beautiful voice. She was incredibly kind to me personally. We have all been touched by her presence in our lives, as evidenced by the astonishing and sustained outpouring of love and grief from across the globe. A testament to the deep regard in which she was held. I consider myself very fortunate to have some treasured musical mementoes of Moya – both on my song for Relay for Life Donegal, and on her duet with my son Zana for the film Sol. I will treasure both. She was so generous with her time and her immense talent. Heartfelt sympathies to Tim, Paul, Aisling and the extended Brennan family. She was a very special lady indeed. Thinking of you all. Comhbhrón ó chroí. 💔

A voice of an angel and the spirit of a lion, Moyà will be truly missed by those who knew her & knew of her. My heart goes out to you’re family & loved ones. RIP Moyà you will forever be remembered.
She will be missed. Her voice and the music of Clannad is part of my irish feeling. It is not only music. It is identity. RIP Moya. May all of her family members and all her friends find enough strength to come through the next time. All the best from Germany.
Moya, the memory of you that I carry deep, deep in my heart is this:
After a gig at the Salzhaus in Baden, Switzerland, I met you, Cormac, and Sinéad. You simply hugged me and smiled at me with a warmth and kindness in your eyes that I will never forget for the rest of my life. That is how I will remember you—along with this photo we took together back then.
Your voice, your music, and your band’s music are incomparable and have been with me for what will soon be a lifetime. Thank you so much for sharing your immense talent and your light with the world.
May you now rest in peace.
My deepest condolences and sympathy go out to Moya’s family, friends, and acquaintances, near and far. My heart is with you during these difficult days. I send you much light and love.
Rest in peace Moya. You had the voice of an angel, so talented too. Such a beautiful harp sound. You changed so many people’s lives for the better. Such inspiration, intrigue and ethereal quality to your music. And on top of all this, seemingly a really down to earth human being too. So many are feeling your loss. I hope to see you again. We were incredibly lucky to have you around. Xx

Moya was one of the kindest and strongest people I have had the privilege to meet. Her voice has been a powerful source of hope and her words were always wise and encouraging. It was heartwarming to see Moya encourage upcoming and new musicians in Clubeo and each show she performed with her family was beautiful and full of soul. She will be missed by everyone and will be remembered in her music and for her beautiful personality.

Thank you for the memories you evoke of my country through your voice and music, great concerts RIP
I hope you can feel that she is now surrounded by that same light she so generously shared, resting in a place of peace and eternal love. And I hope, in time, that this brings you a gentle sense of comfort.
May her love continue to guide you, may her music forever wrap around you like an embrace, and may you always feel her presence walking beside you.
May you find comfort in the memories you shared, in the love that will always remain, and in knowing how profoundly she was cherished by so many.
I am sending you a strong and heartfelt embrace, in solidarity with your pain and with deep compassion.

I was so deeply saddened to hear the news of Moya’s passing. There is a huge sense of loss felt by everyone who had the privilege of knowing Moya. I’ll always remember her in Leo’s—so quietly confident, never needing to command attention, yet lifting everyone around her. She had a rare gift not just as a musician, but as a person to encourage, to listen, and to make young musicians feel like they belonged.
West Donegal is what it is today, in no small part, because of Moya Brennan Jarvis- her influence, her generosity, and her unwavering support of the music and the people behind it. That legacy will live on in every tune played and every voice raised in our little corner of the world.
Please know I’m thinking of Tim, Aisling, Paul, Bartley and the wider Brennan and Jarvis family at this sad time.
