Maeve is currently recording her debut album in Glasgow’s “Soul Kitchen” with producer Gordy Goudie (Echo and The Bunnymen, Simple Minds). Described as a "natural lyricist" with an "exceptional" voice it is clear that she has turned a few heads in her short career to date. Her unique and powerful voice, fused with her own distinctive blend of melodic pop, folk and rock have earned her a reputation as one to watch over the next year. 2006 witnessed Maeve win a Danny at Celtic Connections and an opportunity to showcase for the leading men and women of today's music industry, after being named winner of the Artist's category in The Daily Records National talent search.

Only 20 years old, Maeve O'Boyle has a huge future ahead of her
