Máire Breatnach is most definately one of Ireland's most innovative young composers while also being one of the country's leading professional musicians. She displays a unique ability and fluency in many musical styles but it is her vibrant and varied fiddle and viola playing that has seen her feature on such records as "You Made Me The Thief Of Your Heart" sung by Sinead O'Connor from the soundtrack of "In The Name Of The Father" and to also work live in the studio with artists such as Mary Black, Phil Chevron, Donovan, Mike Scott, Nigel Kennedy, and many others. Her compositions, such as "MÁIRE BREATNACH's #1 and #2" reels are played by other acclaimed Folk Artists from Ireland, Scotland, and the U.S. Notably she appeared as the original fiddle star from Riverdance, The Show.
