“Midnight”, text Francis Ledwidge, Music Michael McGlynn

Méav was a member ANÚNA between 1994 and 1998. 

She recorded four albums with the group Omnis (1995), Omnis Special Edition (1996), Deep Dead Blue (1996), and Behind the Closed Eye (1997).

In 2006 a collection of her solo and choral work with Anúna, Celtic Dreams, was released on Valley Entertainment Records. She appeared as a member of the ensemble in Riverdance : The Show at Radio City Music Hall, New York in 1996 for the first US performances of the Show and toured with the group to Morocco, Spain, France, Sweden, Norway and the UK among other destinations.

She appeared many times on TV with ANÚNA, including a 1996 performance on the influential Later With Jools Holland and Songs of Praise on the BBC. As part of the group she worked with Elvis Costello, The Chieftains and Michael Crawford.

Singing with Anúna was a great experience…joining Anúna helped me to make the decision to sing full time. It was an opportunity to work with world-class musicians like Elvis Costello and the Chieftains… It also provided valuable stage experience - we toured widely, from sun-baked gardens in Morocco to snow-covered churches in Scandinavia. It taught me to be prepared for anything in live performance.”
