The thing grows and gets worse, and the only real solution is a double lung transplant, but I’m actually very up about it in terms of my mood.And what about after the tour? The pair married in 1991, and are still as in love as ever."It was parties every night. "It was the rock 'n' roll life for sure, drink and some drugs, all that stuff, because it was all around us and we didn't know any better at the time."I thought, 'don't wrap them in cotton wool'. Her obvious contentment and new-found confidence has been hard won - but there's plenty to celebrate."It wasn't so much counselling," she recalls. "It was really amazing to have someone I could be open about with it all, and how I was feeling.Something she later realised she wasn't able to do."The fact we were just a folk band from Donegal didn't make a bit of a difference because everyone was doing it, the constant partying.Support from people in her church helped Moya cope with what had happened.And while Moya's own abortion has been a source of pain for her over the years, she says she would never insist a woman doesn't have a termination - simply that she has someone to talk to, and the power to make a decision that is right for her.As she prepares to head off on a world tour to mark a phenomenal 50 years in the business, Clannad star Moya Brennan is getting reflective. You hear so much about mental health and about people needing something to lean on when they're facing this black hole of emotion, depression or anxiety. “And we’re delighted to be starting off in Belfast because we have loads of friends there, and big connections of course with Derry."They're both in their mid-20s and they're fantastic," says the singer. The iconic singer - one of the biggest names to come out of Irish music in the 20th century - has experienced all the highs and lows of the rock 'n' roll years first hand.And the singer, who lives in Dun Laoghaire with husband Tim, says she’s much more aware of her health and wellbeing since her diagnosis."These days you have people talking about meditation, and of course that's cooler somehow. I think we've complicated it too much, and if I'm in Donegal I'll go to the church I went to as a child, or to another Christian gathering."In the end I acknowledged what happened, and I prayed for forgiveness," she recalls. It was very reassuring to know that you can be forgiven.Without telling a single soul, the fledgling star went to England for an abortion - and tried her best to push the memory from her mind.“When we were young we joined in the parties of course, but I’ve got to be more careful now.

It wasn't like I was praying for some big transformation but I needed that, and whatever it was had a positive effect."“The consultants at St Vincent’s in Dublin are brilliant, although I think they’re a bit amazed I’m going on a world tour.”It's been a stormy old week hasn't it, with gale force winds and snowy showers waiting for us outside our front doors. The walking is good to get air into my lungs as well, and I’m very careful with my diet. Find tour dates and live music events for all your favorite bands and artists in your city.
"But I just wasn't happy, and one day I found a prayer in a drawer that had been my grandmother's and I started taking a look at it now and again.“I was shocked of course when I got the diagnosis, but you have to carry on. If you want to catch the thrills at any rock, pop, jazz, or country concert, or dwell in a trance at a Country or Techno Music festival? I took most of January off because I knew the tour was coming up. But you have to keep your own faith. It’s the two hours on stage you crave. I didn't tell a soul for a long time and that was very lonely.""It wasn't something I was looking for," she recalls. Between my own music and the open stage for young artists I run at my father’s pub up in Donegal, I’m always active.
