    Máireád is world class. We toured and did 6weeks in Broadway together with Rocktopia. Not only is she engaging to the audience, but also to her fellow musicians onstage. She pushed me to play at the top of my game every night and hopefully I returned the compliment. Her tone and approach to her instrument is unique as lies between classical, traditional Irish fiddle and downright rocker! I would share a stage with her at the drop of a hat!!!

    Máiréad is a world-class artist. I have worked with her on recordings and in live situations. She possesses a sense of rhythm and pitch that is absolutely first rate. Her stylized violin and viola playing will add color and depth to any recording project!
