Moya Brennan – the voice of Clannad – heads to Bexhill’s De La Warr Pavilion on March 28 on a new solo tour with a new album, on the back of the great Clannad farewell last year.

“I haven't done a solo tour since 2018-2019,” Moya says. “We took on the Clannad farewell in 2020 and because of the pandemic the farewell took forever! We finally finished last year. But it was brilliant actually. It was really, really enjoyable. My son and daughter were on the stage with us and it was just really nice. And when people said ‘Is this really going to be the last tour?’ the fact is that I love my brothers to death but I've been on stage with them for more than 50 years! And people looked at me and they understood. But really it was just great to make a decision about something like that. We did a short German tour in 2019 and during that tour we looked at each other and we just thought let's have one big last hurrah. We were all doing different things and it's nice to be able to get the chance to do those other things now. I couldn’t do my own solo work while Clannad were still out there.”
