Maria’s most recent album, “ Fire on the Roof of Eden “, was listed in their albums of the year by the Irish Times, and Hot Press described her as “ one of Ireland’s most accomplished vocalists and a national treasure”.
She collaborates in almost all her work with her husband, Kieran Kennedy( her partner in life, music and many crimes), and together they are raising 4 sons.
Their recent compositional work includes the theme tune for children’s programme “Dizzy Deliveries” and 2 soundtrack contributions for Acorn TV’s “Recipes for Love and Murder.
