The group picture shows Nigel Sellens (the moderator of the Enya.com Unity forum), his wife, and their children with Eithne and Roma. It was taken in NY when Enya was there for the launch of DSI, November 2015. Ohh okay, that clears it up, haha. At least I roughly guessed when it was from ๐
I could tell the children and the parents seemed like a family, but somehow tried to link that to the bit about their earlier years as a trio. I think those thoughts probably stemmed from reading the beginning of the 'Deconstructing Enya' article, where Niall Morris was talking about Nicky and Roma. That's interesting to know Nigel Sellens in the picture was the Unity forum website moderator.๐ก Did this picture appear on the website at some point then? Pinterest was the only place I could find it (even with the Google image search).

Pinterest was the only place I could find it (even with the Google image search). I don't think he posted it on Unity. In fact, I'm not sure that pic was supposed to be public. It may have initially been shared privately but then someone "leaked" it. At this point I don't remember where I first saw it, but it was on a fan site or someplace else public.

I wasn't sure either, and sort of avoided displaying the photo here if it wasn't meant to be publicly shared, but interesting that it is rather 'rare' in a way.

Yes, pretty sure that photo is not meant to be public and I will be removing the link. Most people don't want their children's photos in public.

A labelled photo of the Brennan family (children here are grown-ups now; this is from Christmas 1995-96). (Found on this site alongside a few Enya pictures) ๐ They seem to have named most of the siblings correctly, but possibly got Leon and Bartley the the other way around. Leon (still sad to think he has already passed on) was near the top/sort of behind Enya in the picture, rather than Bartley, who is nearer to Moya. Does anyone else think so? ๐ก

I've wondered for a while whether Ebony and Persia, daughters of Nicky and Roma Ryan of course, appear in any of Enya's music videos? If I had to guess (and considering their ages at the time, born 1978 and 1983 respectively) maybe this girl whom Enya approves of the shampoo scent of, is Ebony The girl who appears to be Enya's 'mini-me' in On My Way Home resembles Roma a lot more. Perhaps she is Persia! (Enya's goddaughter too) Edit: I don't think this girl is Persia after all, but she's one of the girls in the video, at 3:04. Attachments:

Okay though in the music videos I would guess the children are allowed to be discussed/shown? (From around 30 years ago; they are grown-up now ๐
) Actually the Storms In Africa blonde girl might not be Ebony (I doubt Nicky or Roma resembled her when they were little) I guess it was sort of related to privacy that most of these children aren't credited in Enya's music videos, but they were all rather good actors/actresses! Now I think this girl from The Celts video (1992) might be Ebony instead (also sort of resembling Roma) ๐ก Attachments:

Little Eithne and Deirdre ๐๐ I really liked how this turned out, a few lighting adjustments as well as colourised

This 2008 interview came to mind earlier today, I remembered that Enya was interviewed on a news programme (that used to be on the ITV channel in the UK) called GMTV. I didn't think to search the newsreaders' names before, but I learnt today they are Andrew Castle and Fiona Phillips. Interestingly they both went on Strictly (different series, 2008 and 2005 respectively) ๐๐บ๐ชฉ (Enya should do the Christmas special sometime...!) It came to mind because (in UK news today) it was revealed that Fiona was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease last year, aged 61 (she's also born 1961, like Enya, but January, a little older). Although she had a family history of the condition, it does seem rather sad for it to have happened early like that. Fiona is involved in a clinical drug trial that might slow the progression of this condition, hopefully it does have some noticeable results, it may help many who are also suffering from Alzheimers, and their loved ones. ๐ง ๐

This photo (c. 2001) with the trio and another 3 individuals Were they just lucky fans (the lady in green particularly, holding a CD case of Shepherd Moons ) who met Enya, Nicky and Roma by chance? Did they also have some involvement in arranging some signing event the Trio attended, or invite them in to the house behind? ๐ช Attachments:

Off the top of my head: this is from the Trio's visit to New Zealand for LOTR. The man on the far right I recognize as the noted Tolkien artist, Alan Lee. The other two must be crew members.

I'm still wondering whether Enya was at the event yesterday - I wouldn't blame her if not, it looked rather busy ๐
A photoset here, and another with a lovely description here too. It didn't seem to involve most 'closer' individuals to Moya (besides Tim, Aisling and Paul, and Mairรฉad Nรญ Mhaonaigh). However this video (as well as Moya of course) Deirdre, Seamus and their daughter Hannah are seen there, but not in the photosets (so far) and only one with Mary Ferry, who usually appears in many. Unless it's just that the event photography is still emerging, not sure why. Oh well, hopefully whoever was there had a nice time.
