Biography
Hailing from Derry in Northern Ireland, vocalist Máiréad Carlin launched her professional journey in 2003 at age fifteen after securing a part in the opera The Young Prince through victory in the BBC Talents “Young Singers” competition. Studies at London’s Trinity College of Music led to a recording contract with Decca. Across a wide-ranging path she appeared before Ireland’s President, delivered the Irish Anthem at the England-Ireland Rugby International, and shared stages with Snow Patrol as well as the Priests. In 2013 she teamed with Glee star Damian McGinty for the City of Culture anthem “Let the River Run,” a Carly Simon composition that prompted the songwriter to ask Carlin onstage with her at an Oceana benefit in Los Angeles. Additional milestones include touring alongside American folk singer Don McLean and appearances with Ireland’s National Symphony Orchestra. Carlin belongs to the theatrical musical ensemble Celtic Woman, which saw her issue the debut album Songbook in 2016.
