Brenda
Curtin
(fiddle,
vocals)
One of the soloists from Michael Flatleys world-renowned Lord of The Dance Show, Brenda was born and raised in Tournafulla Co. Limerick in the West of Ireland into a family steeped in both traditional Irish and classical music. She has a Bachelors Degree in music and has won numerous All - Ireland Titles in fiddle, singing and 'lilting ' (celtic yodelling !! ).
She performed on the
Late Late Show on RTE
and
with
Van Morrison at the Millenium concert in
Dublin. Brenda has also performed for
Frank Sinatra, Sammy
Davis Jr,
and Lisa Minelli at a concert given in their
honour in Dublin in 1989. 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.
In 2007 she appeared in Croke Park Stadium, with The Bridies for the Irish equivelant of the Superbowl. 2010 looks to be the Year of the Bridie kicking off with a five city USA tour planned for March/April as well as several Irish Festivals during that time including their 6th Invitation to perform at Green Tie Event in Denver Colorado for MCPN. |
