This Irish harpist combines a hypnotic Celtic spirituality and contemporary sophistication in her playing and delicately lovely singing. BOSTON GLOBE

Irish harpist and vocalist Aine Minogue's (On-ya Mi-nohg) latest album is a journey through the otherworld of Celtic mythology. Along the way, expect to meet the ancient mythic characters of the Celtic countries. Tracks include "The Mermaid," (Gaelic song), "the Silkie," "The Enchanted Valley" and "King of the Faeries." There are eight instrumental and four vocal tracks, three of which are sung in Gaelic. The harp and/or vocals are the featured instruments with additional tracks provided by clarinet, strings, Irish whistle and violin.

An Irish native, Áine Minogue has several CD's to her credit on both indie and major labels. She has appeared on numerous compilations of World, Celtic and even classical music in the company of some of the world's finest musicians.

The Twilight Realms marks her first solo release in five years. During that time - you're more likely to have heard her on a TV soundtrack or on one of her production company releases. (www.minogue.com/druidstone) During that time, she also managed to pick up a New England Emmy ® nomination as Best Producer for her TV special "A Winter's Journey."

Minogue also completed an MA in Irish Traditional Music Performance at the University of Limerick in 2002.


Áine Minogue proves beyond reasonable doubt why the harp is indeed the instrument of angels LA TIMES

Minogue's ethereal voice caresses her Gaelic lyrics like a breeze through Irish mists....Aine Minogue is close enough to her Celtic sources to be nourished by them, but not so close that they root her to the spot. BILLBOARD MAGAZINE
