She joined Lord of the Dance in 1998 and during her association with the show played in more than fifteen hundred live concerts touring the USA, Canada, South America and six year run in Las Vegas. Brenda’s love for playing the fiddle cemented the musical relationship that evolved when she met with her co-fiddler Máire Egan in the Vegas Production of Lord of The Dance and 'The Bridies' were subsequently formed in Las Vegas in 2003.  They are enthusiastically received by audiences everywhere they play, both at home in Ireland and in America.
