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.                      
'The Bridies' released their first album, '4 and 9', in Ireland in September 2004. They returned to Vegas in January 2005 and composed and arranged all of the music and songs on their second album,'13' which was released in October 2005. Brenda and Maire have worked with Michael Flatley on his new Show, Celtic Tiger which was performed in Budapest, London and Madison Square Garden.

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 6^th Invitation to perform at Green Tie Event in Denver Colorado for MCPN.
