Lynn Hilary

LYNN HILARY I am so grateful to my Fairy Godmother for giving me the gift of song, if she had also given me the gift of humility I may not be writing this biog, but you can't have it all! I've been very fortunate to have been able to sing my way around the world. Music has brought me from the Egyptian Pyramids, to a Sacred Temple in Japan and everywhere in between! I began singing at the back of my local church because I was too shy to sing up the front. I think when I sang for 80,000 people at Croke Park with Riverdance at the Opening of the Special Olympics, I knew then my fear might have been conquered. I did the obligatory battle between classical and pop singing, and after realising I wasn't particularly good at either, I found somewhere in between where I was quite happy. It turns out there's more than two ways to sing! I managed to graduate with a hard-earned Bachelor of Music degree even though I wasn't singing "properly" and went out to find a job singing anyway.



Anuna gave me my love for Irish music and a wealth of experience. I am very proud to feature as a soloist on several of their albums and their latest DVD Invocations of Ireland. Riverdance followed and brought me around the world once again. It was with Riverdance that I made my debut at Radio City Music Hall where I sang the lead for six nights. When I was younger my dream was to be a Riverdance dancer, but like I said earlier you just can't have it all!! I sing on the Riverdance 10th Anniversary album with Brian Dunphy, and also feature on their 10th Anniversary DVD.



Now I am truly delighted, and humbled to be a member of the hugely successful show "Celtic Woman". I am now in my third year of touring and some of my highlights with them include singing with the PS22 children's chorus in radio City Music Hall, meeting president Obama and playing the stunning Red Rocks Ampitheatre in Colorado. I have a solo album also, called "Take Me With You", but I am very excited to be involved in a whole new production with Celtic Woman called "Songs From The Heart" which was recorded in the Summer of 2009 at the gorgeous setting of Powerscourt House and Gardens.



Thank you Fairy Godmother
