Reared in the musically vibrant London-Irish community of the 60s and 70s, she and her brothers got the music from their father. Paddy Boyle was a native speaker from the Donegal Gaeltacht townland of Derryloughan , Nr Glenties . Her other main tutor was Oliver Mulligan, a great singer from Co. Monaghan, resident in London. Through the songs, Maggie continues the tradition of storytelling passed on by her Irish family. She has accrued a wide catalogue of live and recorded work, such as film soundtracks (including “Patriot Games†title track) and international theatre and folk circuit appearances. she worked with James Horner, The Chieftains, Bert Jansch, Rambert Dance Company, Steve Tilston, John Renbourn and Incantation.
"she tackles largely traditional song with a full-blooded ardour that'll come as a shock to those weaned on the flaky New Age nonsense sold to us as Celtic music through most of the '90s. . .Boyle gets right inside the songs in the uncompromising manner of the best storytellers."
