Biography
Máire Ní Chathasaigh (Irish pronunciation: [?m?a???? n?i? ?xah?s???]) (born 1956) is an Irish harpist and singer. She began playing at only eleven years old, inspired by her family, many of whom are noted musicians from West Cork. She drew heavily on traditional styles, but also created new techniques of ornamentation. She has won the All-Ireland competition at under-fourteen and under-eighteen levels and then, in the mid 1970s, she won the Senior version three years in succession. [1]
