Биография

https://maireid.com/about.htm Excerpt: Maireid is a singer, songwriter/poet, recording artist: a multimedia arts producer / project coordinator; a 'student of history' dedicated to learning and committed to cultural resilience through the arts, with primary focus on health and economic history, as curator for GlobalArtsCollective.org. A citizen of Ireland, USA, and Australia, Maireid grew up on a farm in the township of Bantry, West Cork, Ireland, the first of seven children. Her mother, grandmother and grand-aunt, all health practitioners, taught her traditional Irish songs and dance - and 'good health' practice from early childhood. Her father was an equestrian steeplechase horse trainer, and a gifted 'Irish tenor' and dancer. She attended Kealkill National School. In her twelfth year, her family moved to San Francisco where she became choir soloist and assistant choir director, an avid reader, and a student of history and philosophy. At age twenty one, Maireid visited Australia on a holiday with her father - and stayed! "With 'robust healthy girl' stamped on my immigration medical report, immediately being called on to 'sing sing sing' opened many doors for me - as a traditional unaccompanied singer."
