Her fifth solo album (under the name Moya Brennan), 'Two Horizons' was released in 2003, and received a Grammy nomination in the 'Best New Age Album' category. She has since released 'An Irish Christmas', 'Signature' and in September 2008 is due to release 'Heartstrings', a live album recorded with the Liverpool Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Julie Feeney.Daughter of [a1637830] and Máire 'Baba' Duggan.
