This amazing young lady fulfilled a dream for me...I had planned to take my wife to Ireland (both are Irish), but unfortunately my wife passed away, and I am disabled. Muireann has brought Irerland to me and I am forever grateful. Thank you, Muireann!

I've been fingerpicking the 🎸 guitar for over 50 years. I'm 71½ now, and if I keep at it, I hope to one day be half as good as Muireann. You don't need to play the guitar yourself to realise how good this young lady is, but it helps. Her singing is excellent as well. I wish her a successful future in music; she richly deserves it.

@DjNikGnashers 9 ай бұрын

I agree. 54 here and still love fingerstyle acoustic folk guitar. I can only imagine the thousands of hours this lady has put in to get this good. Nobody is naturally good, it's all just down to practice and the sheer will to want to play something.

I completely agree with you Leo. I am 64 and much younger than you! Her finger picking is so powerful that I am trying to copy it. So good to see someone so young doing this. Thank you.

Hello from the US. That girl is going places. Her technique is soooo clean and precise, remarkable for that genre. And the vocals follow the style without mimicry. As much as her music is an homage, she is not just resurrecting these songs, she makes them new.

Fantastic set. Full-blown crazy good. Not just the guitar playing, and not just the fabulous voice, but also the once-in-10-generations passion and DNA for a music that, thanks to people like her, will never, ever die. Thank you! Say Amen, somebody.

It's amazing to me that she's 16 now, picked up the guitar at age 9 and took a few years off to do martial arts. She has an incredibly high music IQ to accomplish this level of guitar playing in such a short amount of time. She is just scratching the surface of her talents. Also as my family heritage is from Donegal I'm particularly proud of you representing Ireland.

When I lived in New Orleans in the '70s I caught a lot of living legends. Muddy Waters, Lightnin' Hopkins, Furry Lewis, Roosevelt Sykes, Robert Pete Williams opening for John Lee Hooker at Tipitina's, Tuts Washington and more. This was back when Professor Longhair played regularly at Tipitina's. I have not been this excited about a new blues artist in a long time. This young girl's CD I have been playing all the time. Hardly play anything else since I received the album just before Christmas. Such sweet, clean playing and that lovely voice. I am glad to see that her stuff is being posted on various blues pages on Social Media. At 72 I am bowled over by this amazingly talented young lady. I used to think that the best interpretation of Blind Blake's riffs were done by Leon Redbone. Now I think differently. What is great is how Ms. Bradley can play in the style of these classic blues guitarists while at the same time making them her own. A very rare talent in such a young, exceptionally talented girl. Fantastic!

@1blastman 10 ай бұрын

Her acoustic guitar playing is so unique for this time that I'm reminded of JoAnn Kelly, the great English blues singer, and from a New Orleans talent perspective, James Booker. Now I wouldn't wish Booker's life on her, but she has similar talent. Much different, very humble, even awed by the attention she is getting. Would love to see her perform at in the States, maybe at a festival in Clarksdale, MS or the New Orleans Jazzfest - on the Lagniappe stage.

I've been a fan for the few years she's been on youtube. Her playing is so right and righteous!! But it is her voice that just knocks me out! Keep doing it just as you choose to--don't let anyone pressure you. We fans will always be happy to hear your work. I went to Newport Folk Festivals in the '60's and NO one got to me like you do. Blues live on in voices like yours. Thank you.

I read about this young lady in Vintage Guitar Magazine. It is unusual for the magazine to feature such a young musician. My interest was peaked when I read that she loved and played a lot of the old blues stuff of the old greats of the MS Delta, the area in the USA where I grew up. Then I listened to some of her music. What a talent! Then I listened to some more of her music. I am a fan, and I am blown away by how true she is to the old stuff. Keep performing, young lady, and I will certainly be listening.

When someone moves you like that you have to take notice and tip your hat to her talent and her heart. Wow is all I can say! God bless you and I hope you continue to sing the songs you want to sing. And the guitar playing….unless you have tried to do this you have no idea how hard it is to pull off and sing at the same time. Please come to America if you haven’t already!!!!

I think she should open for Leo Kottke on a US or European Tour. Leo is getting old and probably won't be touring much longer, but I think it would be a great match, especially with his connection to John Fahey and MJH the like. And Leo could give her lessons during downtime; she'd end up being the best fingerstyle guitarist in the world after a few months! :) BTW, kudos to Muireann's Dad, he must be quite the player himself. I could just see his fingers moving in time while Muireann was playing. He must be the most proud man in Ireland right now... I sure hope I'll be able to get a CD before too long... :)

I just stumbled upon Mureinn’s channel early of 2024 and got through a lot of her videos. Blues isn’t generally my “thing” although I had heard older Blues from the 40s I really liked quite awhile ago. But she’s a terrific singer too and not just an excellent guitar player. It’s pretty uncommon to see both at any age.
