It's a Clannad interview, but there's some Enya chatter. Namely, Pรณl talks about what she brought to Clannad's sound during her brief tenure in the band. Click here for articleI was also drawn to 'The Last Rose of Summer' from Clannad's Crann รll album, partly because of Enya's soprano/descant/higher vocals and her little keyboard part ๐ผ๐น If anyone is curious as to how it would sound if Enya sang a lower part with Moya instead, perhaps listen to this mix of Saltwater (by Chicane radio edit, which features Moya singing and some of Clannad's 'Theme From Harry's Game') and a slightly lower transposed version of Enya's Echoes In Rain, which I mix with other songs quite a lot ๐
๐ตI like how Pรณl considered Enya's voice as soprano. Lots consider her voice mezzo-soprano (maybe that is closer to her voice type now, since And Winter Came) and alto (but I don't think her voice remains low in the same way). Enya does have quite a wide vocal range throughout her songs, as showcased in the video here (F#2 - A5). My own vocal range is similar, about Ab2-Ab6 (comfortable range between notes B3-G5) and would sound closest to her younger singing voice, around the time of The Frog Prince and Enya/The Celts. :-DFrom what I hear, those notes are right (the 'ole-ole-ole' in March of the Celts features F#2, unless it was transposed, and The Spaghetti Western Theme highest note by Enya is A5).โญ ๐ถ

A recent article in the Irish Examiner reveals that Enya donated some money to an Irish youth orchestra: "And in something of a coup, one of the orchestra members wrote to the singer/songwriter Enya, asking for financial help for the orchestra. โWe run a number of scholarships. But because of lockdowns, we had no way of keeping the scholarships going as we had no funds coming in.โ Enyaโs generous donation allowed the scholarships to continue for the last two years. โAnd we were able to purchase percussion equipment.โ With that kind of goodwill, Musica Fusion seems to have hit on a winning formula." I'm wondering what address they used to reach her! Article linkI mentioned this article in the shoutbox about half a day before, haha, but nice expansion of the relevant quotes from it ๐๐ผ๐ฅ After reading about how one of the members had written to Enya and got quite a lucky response, I also wondered which address they contacted her with. ๐ก Maybe there is still quite a bit of fanmail that she receives ๐จ and that certain letters, like a charitable request or asking if her music could feature in some public media (TV, film, documentary) will be replied to. There's this Tweet (from 2019) which I think must have been from Enya herself

Yeah, I popped in to post this article. Then later saw you'd already posted the link in the SB. Two possibilities for old-fashioned snail-mail would be Warner UK, or the 2 Bath Place address in Dublin. The latter is the address of their accountants, "Frank Byrne & Associates."

Although one should not be mailing their accountants and pestering them to forward on messages. Warner has protocols and procedures in place to deal with fan mail.

A late November 2023 article: 'The Untold Truth Of Enya' It's a well-written article overall, citing a good range of interviews (including the 2019 one with Moya where she said Enya was recording in the studio!) ๐๐ถ (Most of it has been told before and has a few inaccuracies, like the castle photo, and the year of one dramatic quote, haha.) Still, it has a nice variety of photos, and fun subheadings like "Enya refused to get onboard Titanic", "Enya is a hip-hop legend".
